In Chapter 3, Kiyosaki uses his balance sheets to explain the finances of his rich dad (wealthy people) and his poor dad(poor people/middle-class). Basically, rich people buy assets that generate income thereby increasing there monthly revenue. Poor dad purchased liabilities that had a monthly cost and reducing his monthly income thereby. It is important to note that the accounting definition of asset differs from Kiyosaki's definition, esp. with regards to a person's house. While this is an asset from an accounting perspective, Kiyosaki calls it a liability because it costs money to maintain and does not earn income. Chapter three also notes that the majority of poor and working class people earn the majority of their income through wages/work while the wealthy earn them through passive income/investments. In other words, if a poor/middle class person did not work for a year, they would be dead broke. If a rich person did not work for a year, they would be richer than they were last year. It is a critical point of Kiyosaki's argument that people need to acquire assets.
Chapter 4 is a summary of his philosophy that in order to become truly free, people need to acquire assets that create money and not liabilities that destroy them. He recommends starting small and right now and not waiting for the next raise or promotion. This chapter really serves as an introduction to the next section of the book.
