i don't have anything for money management, only economics.
there are yale economics courses online for free- game theory, financial theory, financial markets.
the professor of financial markets got a nobel prize for economics last year.
rich dad poor dad is way for kiyosaki to upsell you on seminars. i wouldn't waste time on RDPD

>crash course
I wouldn't trust those guys to tell me the weather if we were standing outside together. They put such a bullshit liberal spin on everything.

Started watching the first video in the series. They immediately used US military spending vs. hospitals and schools as an example of opportunity costs.
Then went on to claim their mission isn't to sway you one way or another.

The economics series is bullshit. I couldn't watch it because of the needless pandering to the left (it also has different, extremely annoying spokespeople). Use those videos for a superficial understanding of science/psychology topics only.
RDPD isn't economics, it's finance, and pretty bad finance too.
He took the regular real estate seminar model of borrow as much money as you can to buy properties, but changed the marketing to dads, so that instead of taking about greedy goals like getting your yacht and sports car, you'd be providing more for your family.
The people that get rich off this is him, developers and real estate agents.
>gain skills that have market value (ex. Getting a degree for engineering)
>work to increase your salary
>save your money, live below your means
Those are the fundamental building blocks. You can always start a business once you have some capital and/or skills.
