While I have learned much from Kiyosaki over the years, I don't follow everything he says. He has been predicting the "end of the world economy" for many, many years, and he has (so far) always been wrong. Gold has been a bad investment for decades. That might change, but I see it as unlikely. His current investment advice is based on some major fear of an economic cataclysm that I don't believe is likely to happen. Will we have recessions? Sure. Will the economy collapse such that the USD and real estate no long hold value? I don't think so. I prefer productive assets, similar to Warren Buffett...companies, real estate, assets that generate cash flow. Kiyosaki has kind of gone off the deep end on conspiracy theories and "end of the world" notions recently. I'm happy with my real estate holdings and plan to continue holding them for the foreseeable future. Interest rates will go up and down, but it doesn't have to drive your behavior.
