Few people may think economist Takuro Morinaga and investment guru Robert Kiyosaki have anything in common.

Morinaga, 46, has cultivated a Japanese following with his concept of living happily on a low income, while Kiyosaki, 56, has taught Americans the way to become wealthier through his best seller "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

Kiyosaki's book is subtitled "What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money -- That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!" It provides financial education to help adult readers and their children make wiser use of money.
