Financial literacy is one of the main the points that was repeatedly emphasized in Robert T. Based from the author's own experiences, the story basically revolved on how the author's rich dad educated him and his best friend on how to manage money and acquire assets that"ll work for them. He narrates the revolutionary way his rich dad, an eighth grade dropout, was able to achieve financial independence and as a result, establishing himself as Hawaii's most successful businessman. Yes, financial literacy is important. However, it is not that important a tool needed to get out of the rat race, especially here in the Philippines. In the islands, without proof of a college diploma, the chances of landing a decent or minimum-paying job, is slight. This could be seen in the growing thousand of impoverished Filipinos everyday. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad might be more useful to Americans since it was based on their society and their system. However, in the Philippine setting, Filipinos will need more than financial literacy to be able to get through the day. .
