I have a confession to make. Before I started reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I didn’t exactly like Robert Kiyosaki. Once upon a lifetime ago, I was one of those people who got “ambushed” into joining network marketing companies who quoted Robert Kiyosaki every step of the way. Well, of course, I didn’t join because […]
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (A Movie Review … Well, Sort Of)
Last week, Wednesday it was, I had the chance to watch Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on DVD starring Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf.
