Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Sat, Sep 19, 7:00 PM
From Beyond Business Book Club

I will grab a table a few minutes before starting. Please update your RSVP the night before, so I don't sit there waiting for no-shows. Also, kindly purchase at least something from the coffee shop since we are using their space. Synopsis: Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his "rich dad" — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

Set over the course of a single year, this book follows Alex and his father’s ghost as they stroll along winter beaches, camp in rattlesnake-infested deserts, and share countless diner meals together. Between fielding fatherly lectures on the importance of doing his taxes, how to properly shovel the driveway, and why he should always tip twenty percent, Alex tries to figure out what he needs to say to his dad. Is this a good time for him to come out as bisexual? Or maybe he should ask his dad why he loved drinking so much when it nearly destroyed his health? With help from his mom, his brother, a whole cast of extended family members, and, of course, the ghost himself, Alex tries to figure out how to say goodbye. In the tradition of Roz Chast's *Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?* and Alison Bechdel's *Fun Home*, this graphic novel uses humor to examine family foibles and eccentricities as well as the experience of losing a parent. Relatable and heartfelt, it speaks to the universal experience of grief and how it ripples through a community. **Check out our sister groups!** * [Brooklyn Movie Club](https://www.meetup.com/brooklynmovieclub/) * [Williamsburg Book Club](https://www.meetup.com/williamsburg-book-club/)
