The rich are getting richer… and the middle class? They're getting wiped out — and most people don't even see it coming. In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki and Ken McElroy break down what's really happening behind the headlines — and how it impacts YOU. Inflation is surging, gold is hitting record highs, and global central banks are dumping U.S. debt to buy real assets. Meanwhile, everyday people are stuck clinging to outdated advice like "save your money" and "invest in a 401(k)" — but that thinking is exactly what's making the middle class poorer. Robert and Ken also dive into why financial education is more critical now than ever. From real estate to AI to skyrocketing inflation, they share why sitting on the sidelines — or staying stuck in the old system — is no longer an option. Want to protect yourself? Want to thrive while others panic? It starts with knowledge. Join Robert and Ken for a blunt, no-nonsense look at today's economy — and how to stay ahead of the curve. 00:00 Introduction 02:15 The Importance of Financial Education 03:09 Inflation and Its Impact 08:59 The Future of AI and Employment 12:35 The Human Toll of Inflation 14:56 The Decline of the US Dollar 17:43 Opportunities in Real Estate 19:29 Investment Real Estate Opportunities 19:43 National Debt and Economic Predictions 20:40 The Limitless Event: What to Expect 21:55 Speakers and Topics at Limitless 25:37 The Impact of AI on Jobs and Industries 29:56 The Importance of Continuous Learning 33:53 Final Thoughts and Conclusion ----- 11 countries just ditched the dollar—and China's building a digital currency system to replace it.
