Chapter 11: 1.) There were times that I tried to follow some financial advice that wasn't a great fit for me. Sometimes things work in my favor and sometimes they don't. 2.) A reasonable decision might be better than a rational one because it could accommodate your better. Being reasonable may give you the flexibility that's needed in life. 3.) One money habit that works for me is every year when I do my taxes I open up a CD and just let the money sit yearly and add to it. Learning to just let my money sit helps me get on a better track with saving.

Chapter 12: 1.) I think the biggest financial surprise I had was my first lawsuit settlement. With that settlement I funded driving school for myself and obtained my driver's license. 2.) It's dangerous to assume the future will look like that past, because the odds of that being true are slim to none. The world is constantly evolving over time. 3.) I feel like I can prepare for unexpected changes to my income by staying ready so I don't have to get ready. Meaning making sure I have a rainy day fund aside in case of surprise financial burdens. Also continuing to further my financial literacy that way I'm staying up to date with any helpful and useful information.

What stood out most to me was the similar rule of watching the company you keep. You are the company you keep. The concept between rich dad and poor dad showed me two different ways of thinking. Me being able to identify with both ways of thinking. The book challenged my way of thinking on earned income. But I really enjoyed learning about earned income, portfolio income and passive income. It inspired me to want to focus more on portfolio income. I definitely gained more knowledge about assets vs. liabilities; I would recommend this book to anyone trying to gain financial literacy.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It made me feel emotional because it made me sit and think about the different choices we have in life and how close we are as a collective to living better. I would recommend this book to anyone that is on a financial journey of finding themselves and trying to excel in life! This book made me value my hard labor and gave me better insight on how to save more while working less! I didn't have any expectations going into this book at the beginning, but at the end I loved how it seemed liked the booked contained descriptions that seemed like they were apart of history. My favorite part of the book was when all the debt that was owed was paid off because I didn't see that coming.
