Rich Dad, Poor Dad Increases Interest in Finances. My mom read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I think I might have gotten her to read The CoffeeHouse Investor once. But that’s it for financial books. She actually picked this one up on her. When I first discovered Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I was well into the last year of my residency.
