The Journey Began

In 1985 Kiyosaki and his wife were homeless, unemployed, their credit credit cards were expired and homeless until their friend offered room in her basement.

When friends and family were informed of them plight, the first question was always, "Why don't you get a job?"

Sometimes, they did a few jobs and earned a few dollars. But it was enough to bought some foods and car fuel.

Year 1985, was the worst of their lives. Anyone who says that money isn't important obviously has not been without it for long. Fear, uncertainty and hunger shortens the human emotional fuse.

Kiyosaki and his wife knew they could always find a safe, secure, high-paying job. Both of them were college graduates with good job skills and solid work ethics. But they were not going for job security. they were going for financial freedom.
Destiny come to them, By 1989, they were millionaires. Although financially successful in some people's eyes, they still had not reached their dreams. they had not yet achieved true financial freedom. That took until 1994. By then, they never had to work again for the rest of their lives. Barring any unforeseen financial disaster, they were both financially free. Kim was 37, and kiyosaki was 47.
