Financial Sense, Released on 8/21/23 (Recorded on 8/18/23)
Financial Sense Newshour is joined by the visionary author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki, who discusses the rapid rise in US debt and how this relates to the growing desire of many nations, including the BRICS, to trade in currencies outside of the US dollar. Kiyosaki explains what he is doing as an investor in light of long-term, structural trends and advocates for the safe haven value of investing in commodities like gold, silver, timber, and real estate for the long haul. He discusses the substantial increase in value gold has seen over the last two decades and underscores the urgency of investing in such tangible assets given that the most likely path forward will be for the US to continue printing money to pay off its quickly rising debts.
