From business owners to college freshmen, everyone's thinking about which career moves lead to financial security the fastest.

Many students go to college in order to have a more comfortable life in the future, but the degree of importance in making those dollars has definitely changed.

Back in May, I wrote a post about leveraging yourself in business. The bottom line of that post was simply this: To attain real wealth, we must learn to create leverage in order to derive income through others.

I am here to tell you that my husband and I have just finished reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. (Yes, I know it has been around forever, but I can't read everything at once!)

If you haven't read it, move it to the top of your list.

If you've read it, but haven't applied it — read it again.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a "make sense" book that offers excellent insight on how to leverage yourself.
