To be honest I read Rich Dad/Poor Dad, stuck with cash because I was too lazy to manage a portfolio (which worked out well stress-wise) and didn't bow to pressure to borrow for cars and houses when my peers were because I'm stubborn and don't like debt- it's looking back that I can put it into advice.
> I escaped from poverty because I am significantly above the average intelligence level and I managed to make the right decision at the right time.
LOL. Dunning-Kruger comes to mind.
