- Robert Kiyosaki, author of the publication titled Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a recommendation for portfolio diversification. He advises the inclusion of tangible assets such as gold and silver. These physical commodities are identified as stable stores of value during projected economic instability.
In response to elevated indicators of a forthcoming economic decline, Kiyosaki has disseminated strategic investment guidance. His objective is to equip individuals with methods for managing anticipated financial disruption.
The advisory is released in the context of Kiyosaki’s projection of a potential “greater depression,” a macroeconomic scenario characterized by severe fiscal distress. This condition is forecasted to present substantial difficulties for both investors and the general population.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki sounded the alarm over what he sees as growing economic instability in 2025. He pointed to record-high levels of credit card and national debt, a rising unemployment rate, and the shrinking value of retirement accounts like 401(k)s. He also expressed concern over the increasing risks to pension funds.
Kiyosaki didn’t hold back in his warning, saying the U.S. might be headed toward what he calls a “Greater Depression”—a crisis he says he has been predicting for years.
“In 2025, credit card debt is at all-time highs. U.S. debt is at all-time highs. Unemployment is rising. 401(k)s are losing. Pensions are being stolen,” Kiyosaki wrote. “The USA may be heading for a GREATER DEPRESSION.”
He reflected on earlier warnings he’s shared, referencing his book Rich Dad’s Prophecy, where he predicted a massive stock market crash. According to Kiyosaki, the turmoil he foresaw is no longer in the future—it’s already here.
“In most of my books—Fake, Who Stole My Pension, and even Rich Dad Poor Dad—I warned of a coming financial disaster,” he said. “People who listened are doing well today. I’m concerned for those who didn’t.”
Still, he struck a hopeful tone. “The good news is you can still take action—and maybe even come out of this very rich,” he added.
As always, Kiyosaki ended with his signature advice: “Buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin.” He acknowledged some followers find the message repetitive, but emphasized that it’s because he strongly believes in these assets as protection against economic chaos.
