I sat down and read most of Rich Dad, Poor Dad after quoting it here. This particular paragraph really struck me. Somehow, it goes down easier coming from someone who is an actual millionaire:

Quote:
As young boys, Mike and I were constantly told by my rich dad that 'Money is not real.' Rich dad occassionally reminded us of how close we came to the secret of money on that first day we go together and began "making money" out of plaster of paris [they were literally counterfeiting money]. "The poor and middle class work for money," he would say, "The rich make money. The more real you think money is, the harder you will work for it. If you can grasp the idea that money is not real, you will grow rich faster."
