Robert Kiyosaki identifies three top assets for retirees., 2026/04/06 11:40:19

The author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki, has identified assets that he believes can provide financial stability for individuals after retirement.

Kiyosaki pointed out that significant transformations in the U.S. financial system began in the 1970s. He stated that the shift to the “petrodollar” model, which tied the dollar to oil, was accompanied by an increase in money supply, national debt, and inflation.

He also highlighted the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in 1974, which he believes altered the structure of the pension system by shifting the focus from guaranteed payouts to savings mechanisms.

According to the investor, this has resulted in heightened financial risks for citizens. He argues that inflation and rising debt burdens diminish the purchasing power of savings, a situation particularly evident for retirees.

Kiyosaki estimates that millions of American seniors are already facing financial challenges, with their savings losing value amid inflation and an expanding money supply. 

He also expressed concerns that a significant portion of the baby boomer generation may find themselves without a stable income after they stop working, while rising energy prices will further pressure the costs of goods and services. Additionally, the investor pointed out issues within social security and healthcare systems.

“The entire world, entire nations, and individuals are mired in debt. Today, America is one of the largest debtors in world history. I advise holding tangible assets: gold, silver, and bitcoins… and to continue enhancing financial literacy,” Kiyosaki stated.

Previously, Kiyosaki discussed his initial bitcoin purchase and shared his views on investment strategies amid economic uncertainty.
