I'm with Niki on this one. I agree that Kiyosaki may not have been COMPLETELY forthcoming about every tax law but RDPD is clearly an introductory book, not the final word on all these concepts, and, in my opinion, is more of a motivational tool than anything else. But he IS correct in that you can deduct trips to Hawaii, for various reasons, and its not too hard to take some pictures and document your time spent there for your tax records. I hope to be doing just this later this year to meet with some clients I have out there and do some continuing ed, actually.
You know, I think another issue can be raised here: Is naysaying a negative act, but sometimes a necessary evil to expose ugly truths? Or is it better to just look for the positive messages that resonate with you, and ignore the parts that do not? When you find something someone has said that you think is a lie, do you tell everyone about it or do you let it go? Truth resonates with people who are ready for it. Deception only resonates with those who want to be deceived. What do you think?
