put a little money in your pocket and a bunch of
money in someone else’s pocket, have people
work hard to put money in your pocket. “
 Chapter 1+2
The Rich don’t work for money
Through these chapters, the author shares
several lessons:
1. Don't accept mediocre circumstances just because
they're handed to you.
2. Making more money doesn't help, if you don't have
financial literacy. As income increases, most people
increase their expenses, and end up with nicer stuff,
but no more financial freedom than when they
earned less.
3. Most of us become enslaved to money, and then get
angry at our situation. Or at our boss.
