questioning Rich Dad Investing

[Tom Jones]

I have been reading the Rich Dad Investing book, and although I agree with most of what he says, I've found that I'm 200 pages in and I haven't really learned anything new about investing, per se. I was hoping to find some concrete information about steps that I can take towards acquiring assets and investments, but after getting half way through the book, I wonder if the next 200 pages is going to be a waste of my time. 

I've saved 25k that I want to invest in an asset, but I just don't trust the stock market. I pulled out after making 20k after the crash, and I've been waiting for the next crash that never came.

I was thinking about saving another 25k so I had 50k to invest in a triple decker rental in Worc, but everyone I've spoken with has nightmare stories, so that's not looking too appealing. 

I want a passive income stream, but I'm not having much luck finding one. Any suggestions?
