I last read this book 8 years ago in 2017. It was an eye-opening book for me.
I picked up a physical copy of the 25th anniversary edition recently. It was a good combo deal and I thought to give this a re-read. I honestly think some are still good financial advice. I think I didn't want to own land because I wanted to avoid rat race. However, after all these years, I would say that owning your home can be an investment vehicle if you have extra cash.
I guess the book could've been half as thin if they don't include the extra summary section for each chapter. I don't see the point of adding those summary as it is not exactly summarizing the chapters and it's basically just rephrasing the original story. One star deducted for the extra time that I had to spend reading the repeated words.
Anyways, other than that, I think it's still a good book to read. I agree with most of the points he brought up. I think there were only two or three points that I really disagree. It's where he ask people to join MLM or buy high risk stock.
The most memorable point from the reading this time for me was the Mcdonald burger. It basically says that everyone thinks they can make better burgers than the burgers from McDonald, but everyone is poorer than McDonald. It perfectly portrayed why the most skilled/hard-working workers don't make the most money.
