      Shane Caniglia, President Mike Sullivan, CEO

      Special thanks to Mona Gambetta. Without Mona, this book and most Rich Dad books would not exist. Mona is like the Eveready Energizer Bunny, consistently going far beyond the call of duty, 24/7. If Rich Dad was a military organization, Mona would be awarded the Silver Star for valor and courage under fire.

      I know Mona joins me in acknowledging and thanking the Plata Publishing team as well as everyone at The Rich Dad Company. Each of them, in some way, has contributed to and supported this book project. Special thanks to Rhonda Hitchcock, Steve King, Greg Arthur, Dave Leong, Jake Johnson, Kellie Coppola, Garrett Sutton, and Darrin Moore.

      To my sweetheart Kim, for being a rich woman in love, brains, and beauty… and for being the quiet power at the heart of The Rich Dad Company.

      And of course, to the millions of people like you, from all over the world, who read the Rich Dad books and play and teach our games. Thank you for being the engine of Rich Dad and for being a part of our global mission:

       To Elevate the Financial Well-being of Humanity

      Thank you to the Rich Dad Advisors for sharing their uncommon wisdom.

       Author’s Notes

      Although this book references government and politics, it does not have a political agenda. The author is not a Republican or a Democrat. If anything, he is an Independent.

      This book mentions god and spirit. This is not a religious book. It has no religious agenda. The author believes in the freedom of religion, the freedom to believe—or not believe—in god.

      “We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.”

      – R. Buckminster Fuller
