‘Don’t be a loser’: Robert Kiyosaki sounds alarm on $40T US debtload — warns owners of this ‘fake asset’ will get poorer

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," has been known for his outspoken financial warnings. Recently, he expressed concern over the staggering $40 trillion US national debt. He urged individuals to reconsider their investment strategies, particularly those who rely heavily on cash. "Remember: Savers of cash are the biggest losers!!!!", he declared.

Kiyosaki criticized the recent increase in certain bond buyback operations by the U.S. Treasury, calling it another round of quantitative easing. He believed that this policy would weaken the U.S. Dollar Index and cause inflation to accelerate, thereby hurting "savers of fake $".

However, it's crucial to note that the Treasury's actions are different from the traditional quantitative easing conducted by the Federal Reserve. The Treasury's moves are intended to improve trading conditions in portions of the Treasury market. Despite this, Kiyosaki's primary concern remains the same: inflation and its impact on savings.

Kiyosaki advocates for investing in assets that increase in value, such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and real estate. He has a particular fondness for gold and silver, viewing them as safe haven assets during periods of inflation, market turmoil, or geopolitical unrest. He owns gold mines and silver, and in 2025, he highlighted silver as his preferred metal, predicting prices as high as $200 an ounce.

He also recommends real estate as a means of building wealth. While property prices can fluctuate, real estate often appreciates during inflationary periods due to increased costs of materials, labor, and land. Moreover, rental income tends to rise with inflation, providing landlords with a revenue stream that adjusts accordingly. Kiyosachi himself owns 1,500 rental properties.
