 This Book is For Older Generations...don't waste your time September 23, 2008
Kim Kiyosaki must be referring to older generations of women in this book.
I am a 30 year old woman and I grew up knowing that PEOPLE (men and women) need to work to live, not be lazy and live off your partner or spouse. Of my 30 years of living and knowing women, none of my friends are as lazy as the women described in this book.
In fact, I know men who are as lazy as the women described in this book. The only women that I know who are identical to how Kim describes are my mother and grandmother or my friend's mothers and grandmothers. Maybe this is because they grew up in a generation where they didn't need to work.
Perhaps lazy women as well as lazy men might find this book motivating to get out of the house and do something with their lives, but it's not a good book to learn about investing.
If you want to learn about investing, read 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' and the Rich Dad Advisors' books. These books actually have value and good information.
 Sick Of Not Having Money? August 25, 2008
Great read for those not familiar with her husband, Robert, who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It is filled with colorful personal stories about Kim and Robert prior to becoming successful. Also, she includes conversations she had with friends about money and success.
Overall, it flows well, is motivational and includes a few strategies for success. A few more concrete steps for becoming wealthy would have made it better.
Finding Your Costa Rica : 5 Powerful Steps to Personal, Professional and Financial Success
Not worth the return shipping cost. June 14, 2008

Rich Woman wasn't very helpful. I found myself getting bored reading through the stories of Kim and her friends reminiscing. It seemed like Kim couldn't decide whether to write an autobiography or an investment book, and ended up doing both badly.
The book was extremely repetitive, and not in a good way. Kim was so busy trying to promote her Rich Dad products, the advertised purpose of the book was lost, and the plugs were very annoying.
There was also no thought continuity through out the book. I felt like I was reading a term paper and there was a word count to be meet. There were paragraphs that served no purpose. They didn't bring a point home, or shed any light on what was being discussed.
Ladies save your money and pass on this one.

I understand the title is "Rich WOMAN" and that it is geared towards a female audience, obviously, but some of the examples were a little off target for me. I am a 24 year old who has always supported myself, looking for something that would help me better my financial intelligence and understanding. However, this book considered "women who's dream husbands divorced them". What? THAT is not why women should be fully financially literate, just in case their "plan" to marry a rich guy falls through. I think bringing the fact that women live longer then men is completely irrelevant to FINANCE. If you picked up a finance book geared toward men (what I mean is a book not SPECIFICALLY geared toward women) there is none of the nonsense. I wanted a female perspective, but was definitely not expecting or appreciating what I got. Read "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki- best one in the series. Now they are just getting out of control.

It's all "conversations". I wish I could learn something from it. I love reading, but all I have in conclusion for this book is tedious, waste of time and money. There are bunch of great books about investment and especially for women. Rich Woman is not the one.
