What Financial Education Topics Do You Want to Talk About?

What Financial Education Topics Do You Want to Talk About?

I could talk about how the economy is tanking http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/26/gdp-us-economy-recession-growth_n_937702.html.

But who wants to beat a dead horse?

I write this blog for you. And I want it to be useful to you. A while back, I did a feature called “Ask Robert,” where I answered questions posted in the comment section. And the response was good.

Going forward, I want to do something a little different.

Here’s what I’m asking.

Post topics of interest to you in the comments section related to your financial education.

Then, I’ll line up ones I think are particularly interesting or insightful and write on them over the next few months.

I also want this blog to be useful to your friends and family. So I’m asking you to also share this blog with them via your social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter, or simply e-mail them, and ask them to give us some topics too.

Also, you may notice that in order to comment, we’re asking you to register for the Rich Dad Community.

The reason we’re doing this is because we want to make sure the people who are actually engaged with the Rich Dad Community have a voice over people just looking to promote themselves or who just want to argue for no good reason.

So, if you haven’t signed up for the Rich Dad Community, I’m asking that you do so. It comes with a whole host of benefits – and it’s free.

For example, here are some of the benefits you’ll receive to help you increase your financial education:

  • Monthly newsletters from me and my advisors.
  • Access to the online, CASHFLOW® Game – practice investing for free.
  • Community discussion boards to connect with like-minded people and learn more.
  • Info on new Rich Dad opportunities and products.
  • Prime access to Rich Dad events and more.

Plus, you get a free copy of my new eBook, “Shooting the Sacred Cows of Money,” which you won’t find anywhere else.

For more information, click here.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Robert

Hi Robert, I'm trying to maximize my ROI. Question: What are some ideas for generating the most income in this current economy?

Dearest Robert, It is said that an increase in the money supply (i.e. inflation) causes the price of goods to rise, due to the increase in the money supply chasing the same goods. I understand this concept, but do not understand how these goods "know" or "sense" there is more money chasing them, resulting in the price increase. Please address this topic and the mechanics behind this dynamic. I am having some difficulty finding a source that explains the this. Please enlighten us, I believe I speak for many who would like to know how this work. Thank you for the work you do and your mission to educate!

Question #1: What are the most important elements necessary to go from 'S' to 'B' quadrant? Question #2: How can I become a Rich Dad Advisor?

Hello, I love your books and your philosophy. I have done many of the things you suggested, like opening a business, buying property, investing in paper assets, and the philosophy works. My life is happier and I feel more free. But, I still work very hard, and have no achieved total passive income. I have also provided your books to some less well off people, and have seen their lives transformed. One girl who left school at 16, from a very poor family has managed to transform the life of her family and herself. She now runs a nail painting shop, and her mum opened a small restaurant to provide food to construction workers. Your philosophy helps millions of people. I would love to see you give more seminars (preferably over a weekend), in a place with a decent international airport. As I live in Europe, I would like you to come here. I watched your videos about prague, sadly I did not make it, but, I would love to attend a richdad live event. I also have reached a point, where I dont know how to grow further, reached a plateau, and need some help to reach the next step. Could you provide guidance on expansion beyond a small business S quadrant owner. Matthew

We are at retirement age, or would like to be. We own 10 houses, including our own. Several of our rentals are worth less than we paid for them and we have had to lower rents to stay current with the rental markets. We have waited for the market to turn around, but alas, that has not happened, nor is it likely to in the time frame that we need. We would appreciate your advice about a course of action that will preserve our credit rating, honor our debts and still take care of us. Is it possible?

Hi Robert, I'm from California and have shaken hands with you in 2006 at the LA's Learning Annex along with Mr. Trump. There are 2 Financial Education topics I'd wish to learn more about. 1. Precious metals investing. Mike's book and website is great, filled with history and expert opinions. And I like his exit strategy in purchasing stocks or an average home with 500oz of silver. However, I don't think he went into how to differentiate between facts and opinions and where one can obtain credible data of Precious Metals, such as detail report and solid data on supply and demand of metals. 2. How to purchase distress properties and maximize your cashflow. I think this will be a big hit, there are a lot of folks who prefers to put their cash away from stocks and wants to learn how to pick up tangible assets that produces cashflow. Thank you Robert, keep on the good work! Alan

Alan, send me an email through here: http://joshuagamen.yourkwagent.com - I invest in real estate myself. I also help others invest in real estate. I specialize in finding and acquiring properties via short sale that produce maximum cash flow with no risk. I also manage the properties. It would be a kick to chat. I am in Phoenix and currently work with a lot of cash flow investors in CA.

Hi Don, My name is Eduino, i am a soldier who is deployed overseas. Just signed up as a member of Rich Dad World.com The subject you're talking about is of great interest to me; had that thought for a long time but had no idea how to go about it. I plan on doing just that when I get back home to Mass. I have some friends in Detroit and would love to chat with you about possibilities there. Also, I own a 3 family (live in) and would love to know how to qualify it for section 8. thanks, keep pushing for your goals. Eduino

Robert...I like to hear about current events and, more importantly, what is just around the corner. For instance, hyperinflation could happen...but we are not there yet. Right now there is a good chance we have a 2008 crash again, and then the stage could be set for that hyperinflation scenario. This is just an example. I also currently invest in Forex (EURUSD), and would like to see you comment on that some.

Hi Robert, I have read many of your books and several of the other people who have written books under the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. I would love it if you would talk more about bonds. It is an area that many have no clue in. In times like now, where stocks are sinking, many people are jumping to 10y T-bonds and municipal bonds. It would be great to learn more about strategizing ways to use these government and corporate debt instruments by taking the annuities to reinvest in other investment vehicles such as tax liens, notes, and so forth. Thank you for raising the awareness for financial literacy. If attention to this was as important or more important than secondary education, I believe we would not have so many people making poor choices with their money. There is so much opportunity out there, but know one knows how to cross the bridge because they have been denied the privledge of learning about one of our most important tools in adulthood, money. (And I don't mean just currency.)

Robert: I cannot but THANKYOU for all yor hard work and interest in financially educating the whole world. I´m from Colombia (South America) and my life has had a great positive change due to your teachings. Right now I dedicate at least 10 hours per week to keep up with the financial news all around the world. I do certainly view your webpage at least once every day, I also look at all the articles posted in goldsilver.com and goldmoney.com. I follow too Peter Schiff. What other sources of information do you suggest I could follow? As you know, there is too much information, so it is very important to look at the right information. Thanks a lot for all the hard work, you have changed the lifes of many people around me - FOR GOOD.

I have a different story comparing my father and ex-husband. Guess which one comes out worst. The clue is in the ex (lol). I have another comment though. In order to read the text of this blog I had to change the display settings on my browser. Thankfully I knew how to do this. What happens to those who cannot do this? Are they excluded from reading this blog? Someone told me that if I have the ability to set up a business whatever its size and whether or not it best suited the B quadrant and did not then I was being selfish. Their reasoning was that by doing this I was not providing people with the products or services that I could or should be doing. For example if my doubts held me back then I was purely thinking of myself and not the rest of my community hence the accusation of being selfish. Do you agree? Susan

hi, I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. Read in your book " Conspiracy of the Rich" of how magnificant you found my home town, glad you liked. Anyway my qeustion is what is my best move at my age of 25? I have recently bought a second hand car for cheap and will pay it off within two years. Should I invest in buying a house and getting a roomate to live in it with me to help pay for it. Or double up and buy two apartments? Share one and rent out the other? I am an entrepreneur, I make good money but it is not a constant flow, so my qeustion is should I try and create an income from passive income? Thx PS: I don't know when last you visited our country but we have survived the finansial crisis so far. Our currency has doubled in strength and I used to want to get a US greencard but now I truly see vast oppertunities in Africa, and especially South Africa. You tought me to go where the cash flows, and Cape Town is doing well. I have only read two of your books, and I am do glad I went to that booksale and found your work.

Hi, thanks Tobie, will make contact. Robert one more thing! I have found a way to legally buy 99.9 % gold bars, platinum and silver. But currently the price of gold is super high, it almost increased with 400% since 1999. So my question is should I now buy GOLD? Or should I wait and see if the current Bull market will sustain, and then wait for it to drop? It is super high, I have a feeling a drop is coming. I actually think silver might be a safer bet, as it saw almost the same gain in percentage, but cost less to start with. This is definitely a long term investment into metals. So maybe I’m asking “Which metal to invest in now, gold, platinum, silver?” Or do we wait? Or lets rather buys some apartments to rent out? Thanks for all the help, you’ve made me question money, and helped me raise my financial IQ 1000 times! You Rock!

An average 1 bed 1 bath in rich area next to beach about R1,2 mil ( $169 000) 2 Bed 2 Bath at beach R1,6 mil ($230 000) In middle class suburb 2 bed 2 bath anything from R550 000 to R750 000 ($80 000 to $105 000) I’m working at R7 (RAND) to $1 (US Dollar) exchange. All prices are per one unit. PS: The US Government is suing the BANKS for the Financial crisis, seems they finally realised who is running the show in the US.

I have been wanting to contact you, actually, about giving back. Since technically this is a blog about anything to do with financial education, I feel that this is a suitable place to comment. When we lose ourselves in helping others, you have even said, that is how we find our own financial solutions. Although, fortunately, thanks to you, we haven't any problems at the moment, since we have been working our way through your processes for several years, and we feel prepared no matter what is going on in the economy. That is why I comment here. My desire is to share this knowledge with others. My husband and I have been students of yours for about 6 years. We actually met in person at the "Predict the Future" event. You had us speak for a brief moment at the end about Rich Dad Coaching. With all the resources you have made available, we were able to completely change our lives, and you have given us something priceless--freedom. We believe the same way you do...going after a bigger cause...not money. We would like your opinion and even feedback on possibly utilizing the CashFlow Club as a platform for our goal. Our goal is to start a non-profit organization that will fund education to others who have ambition, determination and the desire to further their education, but may not have the financial means to do so. Our intention is to help provide an education for more innovators who will create inventions for progress in the world; entrepreneurs, who will start businesses and create more jobs; people like my husband and I who want to hold themselves accountable and acquire a true financial education so that they can prepare themselves for their own futures; and others, who want to provide a service to their communities,i.e. doctors, lawyers, childcare providers, etc. Basically, our desire is to carry your torch to our community by starting a Cashflow Club ran by this non-profit organization. Our mission: "To enlighten minds with a true financial education for those who recognize we are accountable for ourselves and who desire to become financially free." We intend on allowing anyone to attend the meetings for free, but also accepting donations for the non-profit organization. Please let me know, for better or worse, if this is acceptable to you. Thanks for all you, Kim, and the Rich Dad Team have done and continue to do. ~Respectfully, Lisa Rougeau

Since the post, I was able to contact a person that answered all of my questions, who has since sent a Cashflow Club Kit to us. I should've known that Robert had already implemented a plan for "people to teach people". Every single question or need I have ever had, regarding financial education, has been answered through some portal Kiyosaki has set up. It is obvious he stays true to his mission regarding educating the mass. Thank you!

Hi Robert, First off, thank you for writing the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. The advice therein led me to put my savings into silver back at $20 an ounce and we all know how that's gone. I owe you and Mike Maloney big time for that. My question now is this. I've read in Rich Dad books and elsewhere that a reliable investment strategy is to compare the relative values of various commodities against each other over time to find what is currently under- or overvalued (e.g. compare oil to houses, gold to shares of the Dow, tons of grain to ounces of silver, etc...) instead of just looking at everything in dollars. Sound advice, I think, but where do I go to get this information? Anywhere I can find commodity info online it's in dollars, covers a short time span, and usually not in a spreadsheet format that I could use to derive those comparisons I'm looking for. If you know where I can easily make such comparisons online, or at least get the raw data, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!
Justin

I would like to find the historical values of commodities as well. I've tried to look for charts that compare gold/silver to copper and other commodities however any I could find are extremely short term (often less than 2 years). What I'm looking for is something that's at least 20 years. Inflation is going to go up, however I want to spot the inefficiencies of the commodities markets so I can use them to increase my capital to afford more cashflowing assets.

Hi Robert. What it is financial education? Steps to get a financial education. Basis of a financial education. When you speak about financial education, it looks to me so big area that really don't know what it is. Which are the basis, and wich specializations. Thanks and you are doing a Good Job !

Financial Education is knowing how to get money, and knowing how to use it for your benefit. Most people only know how to work for money and some know how to balance a budget. However to get rich you'll need to know how debt works and how you can use it to your advantage, and you'll need to know how to recognize and acquire assets (things that put money in your pocket). Things such as reading a balance sheets, knowing the basics of each asset class, knowing how a business is run, and general knowledge of the tax code is essential. Mind you that each of these subjects I mentioned is so deep it's impossible to know it all; that's where you get a team of specialists (attorney, accountant, etc) to help you. That's kinda the jist of Financial Education, in my view at least.

Hello, I am from Bulgaria and my husband and I have read most of your books and are really thankful for all those usefull advises and ideas that you share so gladly. I will be happy if from time to time you post articles about how the whole rich dad idea is working in not so developed countries like the US - especially the ones that have been in the communist regime for so long that will take decades to change people's mind, the government, the law, etc. This will be really great!

My question is concerning direction. I own two properties in which I will incorporate under both as seperate LLC's. My main concern is protection. Nevada has incurred changes over disclosure, since I've read Guide to Investing and Real Estate Riches. I looked into Wyoming as well, but I am unsure of where I should incorporate my properties or does it matter anymore? One property is in Illinois and one is in Maryland... I appreciate any guidance on this topic.

Dear Robert. A month ago I thought I was 48 years 2 months old. Today I feel more like 9 years and 1 month old. (just starting my real financial education) In the last month I have read several Rich dad books. I am continuing my reading so that I can ask reasonable questions, and hopefully understand the answers. When looking at the asset protection aspect of starting into the business of buying houses for rental property; How do you put your money into the LLC so that you have funds to buy the first house? Or is that the wrong path to start on? Any advice, instruction or hints will be greatly appreciated. Gregg

Hi robert, Thank you so much for even considering answering my question. First question, I live in the Seattle WA area and would like to know what is the best strategy for real estate investing in this market, wether it be whole saleing, lease-option,foreclosure, condo ect ect. (I have good credit but not much in capital). Second question, in the country which market (city and state) would be best to buy cheap homes and convert to retirement homes. Thank so much for your valuable time. sincerely, Frank 24 yrs old

Hi Robert, thank you for inspiring many people. I would like to read about how one can pursue one's passion and earning money in this difficult time. Many leaders and coaches and counsellor say that you need to follow your passion in order to live a happy fulfilled life. There are so many people who wished to do other things than their current job, if only they had more money. So I am interested in pursuing both- financial success and peace of mind. Thank you again for being an inspiration for us.

Hola Robert, soy de Argentina y te quiero contar que empeze a leer tus obras cuando descubri "La conspiracion de los ricos" lo que me motivo a seguir investigando a cerca de tus opiniones. Las cuales me hicieron sentir identificado en muchas ocasiones. Te quiero contar que tengo 37 años y que siempre tuve la idea de ser empresario y vivir de lo que me gusta que es la publicidad. De hecho me capacito a diario para lograr ser el mejor. Pero en lo financiero no me fue muy bien y actualmente estoy bastante endeudado. A partir de leer tu libro comencé por organizar mis finanzas para mejorar mis rendimientos. Trato de seguir tus concejos y logro en muchos casos mis objetivos. Hubiera sido espectacular para mi contar con un Padre Rico. Muchas gracias.

I think showing an avenue that parents can teach financial education to their children would be a good topic! Children are the future.

I second children topics...I'm expecting a boy in December so maybe he can be a test subject to growing up in the Rich Dad philosophy and make sure he thinks like an entrepreneur and not an employee. :-) His Dad is in the S quadrant with two business but with the real estate business now solidly in the I quadrant but covering the operational activities under the S quadrant to keep the "Real Estate Professional" IRS qualification. Anyway, as Daren mentioned some additional ways to get children their financial education since they don't get it any other way currently. At least not the way you teach it which has kept me moving in the correct direction ever since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad back in 1998 I think. Man, time flies.

Got hooked on your books....went to a few seminars....and get this: bought your game (practically new) from a Goodwill store in Redlands, CA -- for $7. I told the folks how much the game was retail....but they insisted it wasn't worth that much to them -- SCORE! :) YOUR BLOG: I own a small business. I've operated it as a "self-destroyed" slave for a few years. Incorporated as an S Corp 14 months ago. I've had to use my own money [ I know that's stupid ] and a lot of my own time. We expanded the business to include a local lifestyle community magazine about 14 months ago. We've created a lot of buzz....and the community is receiving it well. Our sales are enough to support the publication.....but only if I work -- FULL-TIME! I'm looking for investment or Small Business Loans. It seems all of the "traditional" avenues are sealed up tight these days. I've looked into the Nevada State Corporate Network (from an ad I heard on the radio). I know that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But this company promises $50k in credit within 6 months. This would be the kind of capital investment I need to improve my business, but its $4,000 price tag has me wondering if I'm just going to spend $4k and get no return. I'd love to read more about business funding resources. Where to go; what to say; how to fund a business venture without using your own blood, sweat, tears, and CA$H! Thank you again for your education, time, and investment in all of our financial futures. ~Mac

As I posted above in agreement with Children's topics I also agree with Mac's idea about topics focused on entrepreneurs and moving from the S quadrant to the B or I or both would be helpful. And to me, now that I qualify as an accredited investor (I didn't know what this was until one of Robert's books told me a number of years ago) more information about how to find these "private" deals would be helpful...I have found awesome private placements and love them but my thirst for information about private placement offerings and where to find them is not satiated. Unfair advantage really helps to highlight these types of investments but since they can't be "advertised" I only seem to find any if a larger broker is involved and then tries to sell you on "risky" and rather large private placement. So, I am cautious who I take my advice from but more topics on the realm of accredited investing and finding private placements would be great.

hello robert...your books and games have changed my life and my vision of the world. i am constantly trying to help others seek and understand, what i have learned. it is nearly impossible to get some people to understand something as simple as the fact that...a house is not an asset, if YOU are paying the mortgage. i am asking that you please devote a topic to CASHFLOW. those games are too important not to be addressed. they must come to the ipad robert...they MUST! people have to have access to these games and learn the lessons that they teach. and the ipad is the platform to do just that. people can't just bring their board game anywhere and say, do you want to try this. but they could on the ipad; on the bus to work - hey have you heard about this game, on a plane - you have got to try this game it will change your world let's play it during the flight, at school - hey during study hall i can show you this game my parents showed me about finances it's pretty cool. you have to do it robert. please sir.

Hi Robert gold fell to the 1600s now, what's your thought in it? Why is it that the economy is not picking up but the price of gold and silver is dropping?

Greetings Robert I've been a long time reader and fan of yourself and the rich dad team and played cash flow 101 and 202 enough times to know that every time I play I know I learn some thing new and I thank you for your great work and your articles and websites that offer up information for the educated readers out there. I want to address the subject of "Debt Ceiling Debate" while they have yet to vote on it,what do you feel will be out come to the American population ?. Coming from a country like Australia I live in a state where the resources sector has driven the housing market out reach to those wishing to obtain property though the enticing property market in the US right now has driven many here and over seas buyers to snatch up homes on the cheap. While I do realize the homes are more affordable then what their asking here here, my feelings on the real estate market here in Australia is it's a bloated market and in time will drop if the effects of decisions being decided by US policy-makers to curb the US Debt which entails world wide being that just about every nation trades with the US so any type of reaction you feel there in times hits the rest of the world. The one question I do have is while pricing for homes are cheaper as a whole the demographics of continued unemployment that may or may not spike due to companies not able to afford to keep people on so more homeless familys not being able to pay rent then what is you think will see foreign investor's fleeing a market so cheap right now but may lead to a lot of homes brought but empty with the case of the debt the US needs to pay back ?. I realize I could be speculating a sudden fall in buyers buying up Us residential property but with the High AUD and the prices we are seeing will it last or will they become cheaper to the point people are not going to be able to afford to live in them due to unemployment,a country in Debt up to their ears and promises of help that go to big corporate companies who seem to be on the up and yet the Us middle class and below are struggling ? Robert your work is so grand and I feel they need to listen to more men like you and your always the person I turn for counsel in your reports or articles and books,the judgements made by uneducated financial rookies is going to hurt a lot of people but having the knowledge and backing of the information can lead individuals with the know how on the right path if they act upon your knowledge the hard times we all foresee will be less painful if we play our cards right I look forward to reading up on the Blog about what ever subject you bring to the rich dad community.

Greetings Robert. I would like to thank you for all your contribution to Financial Education. I was lucky enough to encounter your first book during high school and it has opened my eyes up to the possibilities beyond from becoming just an employee. My topic I'm interested in is learning to get Alternative Financing for Real Estate. Right now I'm finding that banks aren't willing to lend money unless the person has an excellent job, balance sheet, credit score, etc. And even then they're now requiring a fairly high % down payment. How would one be able to still get financing when one finds a good property with cashflow? I've started investing recently and right now have it all in precious metals and I want to diversify into the other categories.

Rich Dad - It appears as though lots of people are taking notice of precious metals. Of course it's hard not to given the recent SURGE in gold and the SURGE we had last Novemberish with silver. Of course I know that the trend is not stopping any time soon, not as long as the government continues to increase bad debts and let the FED ramp up the printing presses and devalue our dollar. I learned that from you, when you were teaching about silver and gold long before it gained the large attention it now has. As always, your content brings a lot of entrereneurs together, both new and experienced. I was in college when I first read your book Cashflow Quadrants, I then read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and have since read every single book that you and your advisors have put out. I read your blog every week, I follow your facebook/twitter feed, and I LOVE the audience you bring in. Following you led me to a 3 year sales tenure to learn how to sell, I then started my own business and started investing in real estate. I am now 25 years old, and have been free of working for anyone else for over 2 years. That is something I am very proud of, and I thank you for helping me get there. I will continue to follow you for knowledge, encouragement, and motivation as I continue on my journey of financial education and break through ceilings. It's hard for me to tell you what I want you to write about, because I usually read what you write to gain a better understanding of what I should be paying attention to. Thanks again Rich Dad!!!

I would say that the right information is probably more important than any physical commodity. For Example: Successful entrepreneurs often come up with solutions to problems, in other words, they invent or gather the right information and apply it. Another example is Market research is all about collecting information to make better products or to find better ways to sell their products. Plus, isn't knowledge simply a collection of information a person remembers on a subject?

Hello Mr Kiyosaki, i would first off like to say thankyou for waking me up.you have changed the way i look at everything forever and i thankyou sir. my quick question to you or your richdad team is about superanuation choices.i live i australia and have just purchase a few more of your books...and what got me thinking after reading guide to investing in gold and silver...was taking action and going out and purchasing the physical but also how my assest allocation was set up in my super fund.being in my 30's i`m along way from pulling it out but i wanted to know if you knew of a fund that let me determine where my asset allocation goes and how much %into each one.i can not find any fund that even has commodities as a option for asset allocation.basically the fun i'm currently on has a exposure of 55% into equity markets the rest goes into cash, fixed interest and property. when the us dollar finally implodes i really don`t want my exposure that my current porfolio gives.i want a super fund that i can allocate my funds into commodities, mainly gold/silver.i can`t find any funds that even have that listed in there asset allocation. your thoughts pappa....theres a big economic storm comming and i'm rowing my boat as fast i can away from it =)

Let's change things up and talk about Pre-decisions. As an example, today FEMA announced that it was running out of funds and new claims would be put on hold amid the beginning of our current hurricane season. The world population needs to rely on themselves to save themselves....so a new concept needs to emerge among the populace to make pre-decisions. Time to shake up our way of thinking! Pre-decisions as applied to disasters is only the beginning....

Hello Robert, would like for you to cover topics on income/cashflow generating strategies with paper assets (i.e. Option strategies combined with Dividend stocks and Gold/Silver Option Strategies - very liquid when trading OTC with online banking and almost available 24/7). Kind regards and keep up the good work.
Ernesto

Would like to clarify that my idea is to set up a defined strategy with predetermined orders (stop losses/take profit) , minimizing possible downside while maximizing possible upside. Because sitting all day long in the computer trading and doing technical analysis in my opinion doesnt qualify for "passive income" since its an "S" quadrant activity. Plus I live in a country that doesn't tax income on these operations.

Hello Robert, I think it is cool to go more into what are good investments at this moment. And then we can discuss in the comments why or why not it is a good investment. I know real estate is good but it is still hard for beginners to afford one, the bank is not easy these times. I read a tweet of yours and it said "Copper is the new silver" why you think or thought that.

Since money is an idea, and ideas bring you money, also would like to discuss about the future of Intellectual Property and Capitalism. We've come a long way from Vinyl records to Itunes. Copying of Intellectual Property is widespread. Does Copyright increases or stifle creativity? Does it bring more wealth to yourself, the society or both? I think this could also be a vital issue for your company. Kind regards

Robert, Over time, when countries are in political or economic turmoil, the rich take their money and leave the country. They may be escaping for survival reasons, or they may be looking for more financially welcoming places. Hopefully, the situation will never happen here, but how can we best prepare or protect ourselves and our assets, just in case an exit is necessary?

Hello Robert and everyone; all who has posted here. Robert I have just now begin to start my education in learning about all the ways one could get wealthy or rich. Can you or anybody here (for that matter)give me some advice. I'm 47 years old; broke, in debt for about $55,000.00 to 75,000.00 in debt, due to some unwise bad decissions in the past. I understand in order to be able to use OPM one would need to have a good credit rating. I have no experience in operating a business or investing expereince. Can you or anybody on here offer some advice on the quickest way of getting out of debt so that I can start over. Would filling chapter 11 or bankruptcy help my situation or not, I'm open for advice. Thanks

You are in the right place. Kiyosaki has a way of, as he calls it, "shooting sacred cows" and everything he teaches is absolutely a path to financial freedom. One of the things he would say is that you absolutely do NOT need a good credit rating to be able to use OPM. You just need to be creative. It's a learning process, but a fun journey to experience all of his teachings. One suggestion I can offer is to absolutely NOT focus on being in debt. Focus on solutions. Sometimes we have to pull out all the bills, etc and get a picture of where we are at to make a plan to get where you want to be--Kiyosaki calls it, "minding your business"... (you can use his financial statement on this website). Then just start working toward paying those bills down. Alot of times, especially now, the creditors will work with you if you contact them and let them know you want to pay the debt back, and you may be able to set up some sort of repayment plan that works for you. There is no quick way. But, there is a positive way that feels good. Main thing is to "stay the course" and keep reading books and listening to CD's from Kiyosaki until you get the right mindset and reach your goals toward financial freedom. Best of wishes and to your success!

9/1/2011 2:57:43 PM
Hello Robert, my name is Tommy, I am 38 & I live in AZ w/ my beautiful wife, Lindsay.. My wife Lindsay and I have a very similar story as you and Kim. I too was fortunate to have a rich dad for 5 years (he was killed in an accident 3 years ago). Also, you have served as my rich dad from afar. We built our initial wealth in network marketing (XANGO). We have and continue to study everything that you produce. Have sold thousands of your cd's and books (continue to) to our group that is 90,000 strong. You and Kim are some of our biggest heroes, thank you. Anyway, we have been quite aggressive with our investment strategy over the years. We have literally lost everything we have invested that was NOT following your principles and guidelines. I read all about why that happened in Unfair Advantage. On the other hand, we have won on every investment where we have applied your rules/principles. So, we have been investing quite aggressively in cash flow RE properties over the last 18 mos. We thought it would be great to hear your thoughts regarding if you think people should continue to invest in cash flow RE aggressively with all of the craziness going on, OR sit back for awhile and see how much worse (or better for investors) things get. With the govt possibly buying up properties and competing against us and everything else. Should we hold on to our investment funds for awhile, put it into silver and wait, or stay the course on picking up cash flowers with 28% ROI in first year and infinite returns within a few years? Thanks for all that you and Kim do! PS. There are two people who are on my dream board to go to lunch with and meet. Muhammad Ali and YOU. Just thought I would throw it out there. I am in Scottsdale :) My friend, Lennon Ledbetter, spent time with you and said you are fantastic. Thanks again, Tommy

Hi Mr. Robert I'm a 21 years old Filipino and an avid fan of yours. I have bought and read a lot of your books and all I can say is that your insights are eye opening and it opens our mind to possibilities. I have learned a lot from you and I can't wait to get my hands on the books you may publish in the future. What I want to ask is that since the U.S. is in big financial trouble is it better to invest in other countries instead? Will China, Philippines and other Asian countries be a better choice to invest in or will the financial crisis in U.S. creep into these countries as well? Thank you and God Bless. More power to you and the Rich Dad company.

Hello Robert! I'm 12 years old and I can't believe how much your books and advice changed my life. I would of followed the old ruled of money and fallen into the rat race if it wasn't for you. Now I'm prepared to take on life financially educated. Your advice has also helped change my parents' ways of thinking and they escaped the 2009 crash with their finances intact. They have recently paid off their mortgage and they are preparing to buy an investment property. They challenged me to conduct the reasearch for the new condo, and if I find a good one, the place is mine when I turn 18. So far, I have found a good property at a good price that can generate $300 cashflow a month(if my calculations are correct. You are a great mentor. Keep on writing!

Dogs eat dogs. I wonder if small country like Malaysia or singapore could be in the sacrificial chamber of the default or bailout. I just realize that the whole world of so call countries are just business entities(CORP or LLC) perhaps? Default or bailout just doesn't really make sense to E/S quadrant people. A game of life. Comes to worse could the coming crisis brings up more wars worldwide? well me & my family's concerns are still prepare for the worse scenario & positioning ourselves. I wonder if the Fiat currency system would still be used for another 30years or what? Back to classic gold standard? Bretton wood system? not exactly but analyzing the possibilities could be useful.

I agree. If we do an FHA loan to start investing with little money, then you need mortgage insurance. With that tacked on, how can you profit from any rental home? Where are these ways of buying homes without banks? I guess if you let the cat out of the bag millions of people would be doing it and it wouldnt be such a secret anymore. How about message my email and tell me hahahaha. I promise I wont tell anyone!
