Rich Dad, Poor Dad?

I read and enjoyed the book with that name, by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon L. Lechter, a couple years ago. I found it especially interesting because I have a family situation where I have one frugal-good-with-money parent and one that isn't. It's been interesting, and sometimes frustrating, being in the middle of the dichotomy.

Getting married, having children, and starting our own lives we leaned more toward the Poor Dad half. We used credit. We had a lot of debt. We did many things, and purchased many things that we couldn't afford.

I've always admired the successes of the Rich Dad half of my family and decided to learn about frugal living and see if I couldn't figure that out. It started long ago with reading "The Tightwad Gazette" and progressed from there.
