  • Financial education and caution are crucial during economic downturns.

Introduction: The Impending Economic Crisis

Robert Kiyosaki asserts that the world economy is currently in crisis, impacting America, Europe, and Japan due to high debt-to-GDP ratios. He references his book, "Rich Dad's Prophecy," written in 2002, which forewarned of the impending stock market crash that he believes is happening now in 2025. While this situation may seem dire, Kiyosaki suggests it presents a significant opportunity for informed investors.

Real Estate Market Crash and Opportunities

The real estate market is crashing, which Kiyosaki views as good news for younger individuals who can now purchase assets at lower prices. He notes that many older individuals have their wealth tied up in their homes, making them vulnerable in the current market. Kiyosaki contrasts this with his own investment strategy of seeking opportunities during sales and market downturns.

Investment Strategies: Stocks, Bitcoin, and Silver

Kiyosaki expresses skepticism about stocks, noting that Warren Buffett is selling stocks for cash. He advises older investors to consider Bitcoin and silver, highlighting silver as undervalued with potential for growth. While gold is at an all-time high, Kiyosaki prefers silver due to its practicality as a form of currency. He predicts Bitcoin will continue to rise, potentially doubling or tripling in value.

Navigating the Crash: Advice and Caution

Kiyosaki attributes the impending crash to the Federal Reserve's continuous printing of money, which has led to a bond market crash. He cautions against blindly following financial planners who recommend bonds as safe investments, citing the failures of Silvergate Bank and Silver Brother Bank. He advises listeners to seek information from various sources, including Jim Records, Jim Rogers, George Gammon, and Ken McElroy, while remaining skeptical and verifying information.

Real Estate and Debt: A Risky but Rewarding Strategy

Kiyosaki reiterates that real estate is crashing, presenting opportunities for those who understand how to use debt effectively. He contrasts his approach with Dave Ramsey's debt-free philosophy, advocating for using debt to acquire real estate, particularly with a partner like Ken McElroy. Kiyosaki explains that he and McElroy often use 100% debt financing, allowing them to acquire properties without using their own money. He warns that debt is a "loaded gun" that can be dangerous without proper financial education.

Financial Education and Expert Advice

Kiyosaki emphasizes the importance of financial education, noting that traditional schools do not teach about money. He advises listeners to learn from individuals who practice what they preach, recommending Ken McElroy for real estate investment strategies. Kiyosaki highlights his successful partnership with McElroy, where they have made millions using 100% debt. He advises caution and suggests partnering with someone knowledgeable like McElroy before attempting such strategies.

0:00 Hello, it's Robert Kiyosaki. Unless you've been hiding in a cave somewhere. I don't know if you noticed it, but the U world economy is in crisis right now. Not only in America, but Europe's in serious trouble and Japan's very serious trouble. The debt to GDPs are just out of sight because debt is killing us. So, I wrote about it in this book here, Rich Dad's Prophecy. It came out in 2002. So, this is 2025. So 23 years ago, I warned why the biggest stock market crash in history is still coming. And we're in it right now. Now, for some people, that's bad news. But if you're a real investor, this crash could be the best opportunity you ever had because when things crash, like the real estate market is crashing right now. And unfortunately, it's guys

0:47 my age. A lot of their wealth is inside their home. in my neighborhood, which is one of the richest neighborhoods in Phoenix, there's 10 properties up for sale. That's a lot. Not a very big neighborhood, but 10 of these, I mean, they started $10 million. There's not too many buyers for them. A lot of my generation, the boomer generation, their wealth is tied up in their house. So, as the real estate market crashes, it's actually good news for the younger guys because this means everything's going on sale. And I like to shop at sales. So, this could be the best time for you to get rich. And some people like stocks. I really don't care for him right now. Warren Buffett is selling all of his stock and he's going to cash. That should tell you something because he's going to come back in and buy that stock back. So, I just want to say this much. This Rich Dad's Prophecy came out in 2002 and it's why the biggest stock

1:34 market crash is here now. This is 2025. It could be the best opportunity of your life if you're still young enough. But if you're an old guy like me, this might be the worst news you could ever have. For the old guys, if you have money, I'd go to Bitcoin right away or silver. Silver is going to take off right now. Gold is good, but gold's at the all-time high. Again, this is April 2025. Gold's an all-time high right now. It's too late, but Bitcoin is still about to go and so is silver. You know, I buy real silver coins. Like tomorrow is Monday, I have some extra cash. I'm just going to buy more silver, not ETFs. If you I don't like paper. I like silver because if I have a silver coin and I need to spend it, I can spend it. So, a silver

2:19 coin is about $35, 1 silver eagle, 35 bucks. So, I can use that as real money hit. But gold at $3,000, you can't go out to dinner with a gold coin. You know, they won't they won't have change for you. So, right now, the two hottest investments for older guys like me is Bitcoin. The Bitcoin today is about $85,000. This is April 2025. I think in 2025 it's going to hit 190 to $200,000. So that's a two bagger or three bagger right there. So there's more opportunity even though the world is crashing. Just keep your eyes open, keep calm, keep your blood pressure low and think and you know YouTube is full of guys who are good and big phonies but there's a lot of information on YouTube.

3:06 So I would suggest listen to people. One one of my favorites is like Jim Records. Another guy is Jim Rogers. You know, George Gammon, Ken Malroy is on real estate. There's a lot of good information out there. And so, again, we're going into one of the biggest crashes in world history. Why is this crash coming? Debt. Because what the Federal Reserve Bank did and the banks all over the world did was every time the economy crashed, they'd print more money and they'd print more money and they'd print more money. Now, the amount of printed money is so big, the bond market is crashing. All these financial planners out there will tell you bonds are safe. Well, they used to be safe. Write down uh Silvergate Bank and Silver Brother Bank and all these guys is their bonds are going bad. Be careful who you listen to. You know, most financial planners will tell you, "Oh, bonds are safe in investing. There's nothing safe.

3:52 Everything has risk to it." So, the financial planners from my generation were telling me the 6040, 60% equities, 40% bonds. They're getting killed right now. The 6040 is wiping them out. So look, this may be bad news for some people, but for those of you who are watching this my little rich dad channel here, it could be the best opportunity of your life. So remember, right now, real estate is going to crash. That's good news for the young guys, bad news for the old guys. Silver is undervalued right now. I think silver is about $35 right now. It should be $70 this year. It'll 2x. Bitcoin, you know, it's about $85,000. You can buy a Satoshi, you know, a small piece of it, but Bitcoin will keep going up. So, there's more opportunity than ever before, but be

4:39 careful who you listen to, including me, you know, check out what I say. So, anyway, a crash is a good thing if you're looking for bargains and where everything's about to go on sale now. So, I love crashes. If you were shopping at Walmart and Walmart said everything is 50% off. Would you run away from it or would you go into Walmart cuz the prices are already low but it's going to be on sale. Like right now cars, they can't sell cars today. Well, that's a good time to go negotiate. And used cars are even better. In 2008, I thought I died and went to heaven. Real estate was on sale everywhere. I'm a real estate guy. And the reason I like real estate is I use debt. I know Dave Ramos has live debtree. Well, that's good for his guys and for most people they should live debt free. If you know how to buy real estate, debt and real estate,

5:24 that's Kenny Mroy. He's the best at real estate and debt. We use 100% debt financing because the prices were so low. What happens for most people, they wait for real estate to go really high, then they put debt on it, and it crashes, the debt eats them alive. So, when this crash comes, it's still, we're still in the midst of it. Right now, it's April 2025. as the prices go down in all this. Get smart, get educated, find out, you know, talk to Ken Malroyy's uh channel. Find out how you use debt to acquire real estate. Kenny and I, in most of our real estate transactions, let's say a property is a million dollars. Guess how much debt we got on it? A million dollars. In other words, it's totally free. The banks buy it for us. But you've got to know what

6:10 you're doing cuz you when you use debt, debt is like a loaded gun. It can protect you. It can also kill you. So that's why your financial education is more important than before. And as you know, our schools teach us nothing about money, you know, because that's why most school teachers are broke. Most are Marxists anyway, but they don't know anything about money. So, if you're going to be a professional investor or want to know how to make money in a crash, listen to people who practice what they teach. Ken Maroy, as far as real estate goes, one of the best I know. He's fantastic. So, I would study him. He's my partner. I know he knows what he's talking about because we've made millions together using 100% debt. I don't recommend it, but you have a partner like Kenny, you might be able to do it. Thank you.
