Why I Don’t Care If the Market Crashes (And You Shouldn’t Either

Most people panic when the market crashes. But what if you could actually profit from it?

In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Alejandro Cardona — an economist-turned-multimillionaire — to break down what real financial education looks like. Spoiler: It’s not what you learn in school.

Alejandro shares how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, playing the CASHFLOW® game thousands of times, and understanding technical trading allowed him to retire in his 30s — while most people are still stuck saving for retirement. They discuss why market crashes are a massive opportunity, not a threat, and how most traditional advice (like “save money” or “get out of debt”) is financially destructive.

If you’ve ever wondered how the rich think differently — and how to shift from fear to confidence — this episode is your blueprint.

Please read carefully.

This is not financial advice.

You may be asking, “what does that mean?”

Let me explain…

Do not just do what I, my team or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.

YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity or how much money you can afford to lose.

We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.

Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.

Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.
