Too many people have fallen into the trap of investing in U.S. Treasuries and putting their money in pensions, thinking that these assets are safe investments, said best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki referred to these assets as “fake money” and detailed how investors can differentiate between “real” and “fake” assets in his book “FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets: How Lies Are Making the Poor and Middle Class.”
“The problem with my generation is that they think that what is safe is U.S. Treasuries,” Kiyosaki told Kitco News. “Treasuries are how the Fed and the Treasury manipulate the markets, and they’ve wiped out savers.”
Robert Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, the #1 personal finance book of all time. His book titles hold four of the top ten spots on Nielsen Bookscan List’s Life-to-Date Sales from 2001-2008 alone. Robert is an educational Entrepreneur and real estate tycoon, co-creator of the CASHFLOW® board game, founder of the financial education-based Rich Dad Company and author of New York Times Bestsellers: Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of the Rich, and Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education. Robert Kiyosaki is among the first to have warned Americans of an impending collapse in the US real estate market, famously prophesizing, “Your home is not an investment,” years before the Panic of 2008. His latest book is Who Stole My Pension? How You Can Stop the Looting.
