Why Savers Are Losers -Robert Kiyosaki

One of the things that makes the Rich Dad Company different is most people think that saving is smart, but my rich Dad told me years ago that savers are losers. I know this goes against the grain, what most people tell you, you know, save money, save money, save money. But the reason savers are losers began back in 1971, and in 1971 President Nixon took the US off the gold standard and made the US dollar the reserve currency of the world. One of the reasons we have so much economic volatility in our economy today, high gas prices, high food prices, stock market booms and busts, housing values going down, all can be attributed back to 1971 plus there were other changes.

What makes the Rich Dad Company different is that we do not really subscribe to the idea of being a saver. We think it's more important to learn to be an investor. If you had invested in oil ten years ago, you'd be a rich person today even though savers are losers. If you had invested in gold ten years ago, you would have been a lot better off. If you'd invested in rental real estate ten year ago, you would have been way ahead of the savers. If you want to get ahead you need to not be a saver, but learn to be an entrepreneur or an investor, and that's what the Rich Dad Company stands for.

Best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad—the #1 personal finance book of all time—Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. He is an entrepreneur, educator, and investor who believes that each of us has the power to makes changes in our lives, take control of our financial future, and live the rich life we deserve.

With perspectives on money and investing that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned an international reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and courage and has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for financial education.

Robert’s most recent books—Why the Rich Are Getting Richer and More Important Than Money—were published in the spring of this year to mark the 20th Anniversary of the 1997 release of Rich Dad Poor Dad. That book and its messages, viewed around the world as a classic in the personal finance arena, have stood the test of time. Why the Rich Are Getting Richer, released two decades after the international blockbuster bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad, is positioned as Rich Dad Graduate School. Robert has also co-authored two books with Donald Trump, prior to his successful bid for the White House and election as President of the United States.
