Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

When the poor need money, they sell. When the rich need money, they do something completely different. Here's what YOU were never taught. Most people were trained to liquidate. Need cash? Sell the gold. Sell the stock. Sell the property. Robert Kiyosaki explains why that one habit costs you twice: you lose the asset's protection, and you may hand the government a piece of the gain. Then he shows why the rich borrow instead, why a loan is not taxable income, and the rules that separate the investor who keeps his assets from the one who loses them anyway. In This Episode: ● Why selling your gold or stocks for cash can cost you twice ● How the rich borrow against their assets instead of selling them ● Why borrowed money is not taxed as income ● How a cash-out refinance lets you keep a rental property and get your money back ● Why a home equity loan (HELOC) is not the same as borrowing against a rental ● What a margin call is, and how lenders decide when to send one ● The 25% loan-to-value rule for borrowing against gold, silver, and paper assets ● Rich dad's rule: borrowed money must buy an asset that pays the loan ● Sell vs. borrow: a $27,500 down payment case study, run both ways ● How one investor who swore he'd never sell was forced to sell at the bottom This episode is for educational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or investment advice. Talk to your tax advisor before borrowing against any asset. This Episode was sponsored by: CapitalClub33.com MuskMasterclass.com OffAir26.com

As markets plunged, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim were closing on a 300-unit apartment building in Tulsa for $17 million—while TV experts urged viewers to stay the course. In this episode, Kiyosaki uses that contrast to lay out five money moves: rethink the security of jobs and savings, turn paychecks into assets, distinguish borrowing for cash-flowing investments from borrowing for consumption, and question advice from people paid to sell financial products. He also tells the story of how a private-investment deal opened his eyes to who gets access to what he calls the "best investments." The episode challenges familiar ideas about financial safety—and makes a clear case for why its advice may not suit everyone.

In 1971, an ounce of gold cost $35; in this episode, Rich Bontrager and Priority Gold's Michael Klaus compare that with a price of roughly $4,100 and examine what the shift says about the dollar's buying power. They discuss why central banks are adding gold, silver's industrial demand—from solar panels to computer chips—and claims of a multiyear silver supply deficit. Klaus also explains how a precious-metals IRA rollover works and what investors should consider before moving retirement funds. A pointed conversation about the case for hard assets—and the numbers and forecasts behind it. Nobody is coming to save your retirement. Rich Dad's Robert Kiyosaki has been saying the same thing for 30 years. Get out of paper. Get into real assets. Stop trusting a system that was never built to make you wealthy. Most people agree. Very few know what to do about it.

Real estate investing during uncertain markets requires investors to understand more than property prices. Market selection, debt, taxes, cash flow, economic trends, and the people on your team can all affect whether an opportunity makes financial sense. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki join tax strategist Tom Wheelwright and real estate investor Jason Hartman to discuss how financially educated investors approach real estate when markets are changing. Robert challenges the conventional reaction to uncertainty: waiting on the sidelines until everything feels safe. He argues that changing markets can create opportunities, but only for investors who understand what they are buying, why they are buying it, and the risks involved. Jason explains what he looks for in real estate markets, including cash-flow potential, affordability, business and landlord environments, demographics, and economic growth. He also discusses diversification across markets and why investors should conduct their own due diligence rather than blindly handing their money to someone offering a deal. Tom adds another piece many investors overlook: tax strategy. He explains why the tax code can reward certain types of investment and how debt, depreciation, and other incentives can influence the economics of real estate. Rather than viewing taxes as something separate from investing, Tom argues that investors should understand tax consequences as part of the investment itself. The conversation also examines how changing work patterns and consumer behavior could reshape commercial real estate. The group discusses hotel conversions, smaller office footprints, housing demand, healthcare, and other areas where changing economic needs may create new uses for existing assets. You'll learn: -How investors can evaluate real estate during uncertain markets -Why cash flow matters when choosing a market -What Jason looks for in landlord- and business-friendly markets -Why due diligence matters before purchasing property -How debt can affect both returns and tax benefits -Why tax strategy belongs in the investment conversation -How commercial real estate may adapt to changing demand -Why Robert and Kim rely on experienced coaches and advisors -How financial education can help investors adapt as markets change One theme connects every part of the discussion: strategies that worked in the past may not work the same way today. The goal isn't to predict every market move. It's to keep learning, understand the changing environment, surround yourself with experienced people, and develop the financial education necessary to evaluate opportunities for yourself.

Understanding how to legally reduce taxes can change the way you approach investing, business, and wealth building. Robert Kiyosaki and tax expert Tom Wheelwright explain why the tax code doesn't simply collect money—it also contains incentives designed to encourage specific economic activities. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert sits down with his longtime tax advisor, educator, and mentor Tom Wheelwright, CPA, to challenge one of the most common assumptions about taxes: that earning more money automatically means you must pay more in taxes. Tom explains that governments use tax incentives to encourage activities they want to promote, including creating jobs, building businesses, producing energy, investing in housing, and developing other parts of the economy. Investors who understand those incentives can make different financial decisions than employees who primarily earn taxable wages. Robert and Tom use the CASHFLOW Quadrant to explain why employees, self-employed professionals, business owners, and investors can face very different tax situations. The goal isn't to hide income or avoid taxes illegally. It's to understand the rules and structure investments and businesses within the law. They also explore why Robert views debt and taxes as essential parts of financial education. Using real estate as an example, Robert explains how investors can use financing to acquire assets, increase a property's income and value, and potentially refinance that property. Because borrowed money generally isn't treated as taxable income, refinancing can allow investors to access equity without creating the same tax event that selling an appreciated asset may create. Tom also explains why investing directly in certain activities can receive different tax treatment than simply buying publicly traded securities. He uses energy, housing, business investment, and job creation to illustrate how tax incentives can influence where sophisticated investors put their money. You'll learn how tax incentives work, why business owners and investors may receive different tax treatment than employees, how leverage can affect both investment returns and tax benefits, and why Robert consults tax professionals before making major investment decisions. The episode also highlights an important distinction: legal tax planning is not tax evasion. Robert and Tom repeatedly emphasize education, proper reporting, professional advice, and following the law rather than hiding income or taking improper deductions. Their larger Rich Dad lesson is that financial education requires more than learning how to earn, save, and invest money. You also need to understand how taxes affect your financial decisions. Instead of asking only, "How much money can I make?" sophisticated investors also ask: "What does the tax law encourage me to do?" Understanding that question can help investors evaluate opportunities differently, keep more of what they earn, and use the tax code as part of a broader wealth-building strategy. 00:00 Taxes Aren't Patriotic 01:24 1913 Debt and Tax System 03:54 Cashflow Quadrant Tax Rates 09:39 Legal Tax Strategy Worldwide 12:35 Government Incentives Explained 13:05 Oil Drilling Tax Breaks 16:51 Debt Leverage and Real Estate 19:00 Marx Progressive Tax Warning 22:14 Tax Code Roadmap 29:08 Inflation and Bracket Creep 30:17 Debt Free vs Capitalist Debt ----- We're giving away a free wealth defense kit to every listener who claims one today. 3 guides covering everything you need to know about defending your wealth and retirement savings in 2026.

Real estate investing with debt can give investors leverage to acquire larger assets, generate cash flow, and build equity—but Robert Kiyosaki argues that debt only becomes a useful financial tool when you understand how to manage it. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with longtime friend and real estate investor Ken McElroy to challenge conventional thinking about debt and explain how experienced investors use leverage, other people's money (OPM), cash flow, and refinancing to build wealth through real estate. Robert starts with one of Rich Dad's most contrarian ideas: not all debt is bad debt. While getting out of debt can make sense for someone who doesn't understand how to use leverage, Robert and Ken explain why sophisticated investors may deliberately use debt to acquire income-producing assets. That distinction becomes especially important as higher interest rates, maturing loans, and falling property values put pressure on parts of the real estate market. Ken explains how higher borrowing costs change what investors can afford to pay for properties. At the same time, distressed owners and deals that can no longer support their existing debt can create opportunities for educated investors who understand how to analyze a property. But lower prices alone don't make a good deal. Robert and Ken emphasize the Rich Dad principle that your profit is made when you buy, not when you sell. Instead of buying property and hoping prices rise, they focus on acquiring assets that can produce cash flow. The conversation also breaks down how investors use OPM, or other people's money, to acquire real estate. By combining investor equity with bank financing, experienced operators can control larger assets without supplying all the capital themselves. Ken explains how the strategy can go a step further. An investor can acquire an underperforming property, improve its operations, increase occupancy or income, and potentially increase its value. That increased value may then allow the investor to refinance the property and return some or all of the original invested capital without selling the asset. Ken calls one potential outcome an "infinite return"—when investors recover their original capital while retaining ownership of the cash-flowing property. You'll learn why Robert and Ken focus on cash flow instead of speculation, how higher interest rates affect real estate deals, why distressed markets can create opportunities, how debt and equity work together, how refinancing can return investor capital, and why financial education and experience become even more important when using leverage. The central lesson is simple: debt itself doesn't create wealth. The strategy is knowing how to find the right property, buy it at the right price, create value, generate cash flow, manage the financing, and adapt when market conditions change. For investors with the education and experience to use debt intelligently, Robert and Ken argue that a difficult real estate market may create more than risk—it may create opportunity. 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Debt Money and Real Estate 01:44 Office Crash and Conversions 03:48 Deals in a High Rate Market 05:09 Avoid Amateurs and Flippers 12:13 Buy During the Crash 13:21 OPM and Value Add Basics 17:35 Infinite Return Explained 18:57 San Antonio Distressed Deal 21:34 Truth Mindset and Wrap Up ----- We're giving away a free wealth defense kit to every listener who claims one today. 3 guides covering everything you need to know about defending your wealth and retirement savings in 2026.

Bitcoin price prediction has become one of the biggest questions facing investors as governments continue expanding the money supply and inflation reshapes the global economy. In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki is joined by Robert Breedlove, Anthony Pompliano, and Mark Moss to examine why many Bitcoin advocates believe the world's monetary system is approaching a historic turning point. Together, they explain: -Why Robert Breedlove predicts Bitcoin could exceed $12.5 million by 2031 -How inflation transfers wealth through the Cantillon Effect -Why Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins matters -The difference between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies -How central banking, fiat currency, and debt influence asset prices -Why many investors view Bitcoin as digital sound money -How Bitcoin's network effects may strengthen long-term adoption Rather than focusing on short-term price swings, this discussion explores the monetary principles behind Bitcoin and why many investors believe scarce assets may play an increasingly important role in preserving purchasing power. Whether you're new to Bitcoin or building a long-term investment strategy, this conversation provides a framework for understanding how money, inflation, and financial education intersect in today's economy. ----- Get the free Rich Dad Wealth Kit from Priority Gold — three guides covering gold, silver, and wealth defense: Text GUIDE to 24999.

Hard assets have become a central topic for investors concerned about inflation, government debt, geopolitical conflict, and the future of the U.S. dollar.

Throughout these conversations, Robert explores how the global monetary system is evolving, why central banks continue accumulating gold, how Bitcoin compares with traditional stores of value, and why oil remains one of the world's most strategically important commodities. The discussion also examines inflation, currency debasement, government debt, and the growing importance of owning assets that cannot be created through monetary expansion. In this episode, you'll learn: -Why hard assets matter during inflationary periods -How gold, silver, Bitcoin, and oil serve different roles in a portfolio -Why many investors are concerned about the long-term purchasing power of the U.S. dollar -How government debt and monetary policy influence financial markets -Why energy remains a critical driver of the global economy -How geopolitical events affect commodity prices and investment opportunities -Why central banks continue increasing gold reserves -How investors can think about preserving wealth during periods of economic uncertainty Whether you're interested in precious metals, Bitcoin, energy investing, or understanding today's macroeconomic environment, this compilation offers multiple perspectives on why owning real assets may become increasingly important in a changing financial system. 00:00 Bitcoin vs Gold 03:30 Inflation Debt and Trust 04:30 Bitcoin Backed by Energy 05:42 Venezuela Oil Reserves 08:22 Oil Geopolitics and Payback 13:26 Hormuz Oil and Fertilizer 15:10 War Inflation and Iran 19:31 World War Three Signals 21:45 Protecting Yourself Now 24:49 Creditism and Dollar Decline 29:58 Global Recession Outlook ----- Get the free Rich Dad Wealth Kit from Priority Gold — three guides covering gold, silver, and wealth defense: Text GUIDE to 24999.
