April 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad, which still ranks as the #1 personal finance book of all time.

Although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed—and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing at high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad remain timeless.

Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki's international bestseller are more timely and important than ever.

Milestones While there is a milestone to commemorate—and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important—preserving the integrity of the original content is a testament to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time.

The sidebars throughout the book (which were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles remain unchanged. Parents and grandparents—those who embraced Robert's story and messages 25 years ago—are now sharing them with new generations. These readers have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone's life and vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances.

People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we've learned, and celebrate accomplishments. They give meaning to our life's journey.

They are a way to integrate the past, present, and future—looking back at where we started, appreciating where we are today, and embracing the promise of all that the future can hold.
