Financial education vs saving money is a critical distinction for anyone serious about building wealth, and in this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Cashflow Club leaders Karl and Bronagh Davidson to break it down. Most people still follow outdated financial advice: go to school, get a job, save money, and avoid debt. Robert explains why this approach no longer works in today's economy—especially as inflation rises and currencies lose value. Instead of relying on saving, he emphasizes financial education, asset acquisition, and the ability to create your own economy regardless of what governments or markets do. You'll learn how the CASHFLOW® game reveals hidden money behaviors, why mindset and financial programming keep people stuck, and how real investors think differently about assets like real estate, oil, and precious metals. The conversation also explores why economic events—like inflation, war, or market crashes—create opportunities for those who are financially educated. This episode shows you how to shift from a saver's mindset to an investor's mindset, take control of your financial future, and build wealth no matter what's happening in the global economy. 00:00 Introduction 00:25 Meet the Cashflow Club 03:00 Reprogramming Money Beliefs 03:51 Rich Dad Poor Dad Awakening 05:32 Watching New Players Fail 07:29 Create Your Own Economy 09:23 Crash Mindset and Opportunity 12:22 Deal Making Lessons 15:49 Why Silver Wins 18:11 Cashflow Education Gap 19:00 Debt Fuels Economy 20:59 Inflation and Homelessness 25:25 Fear and EU Control 27:06 Final Words Cashflow ----- Get the FREE Rich Dad Gold Playbook from Priority Gold and learn how to add physical gold or silver to your IRA or 401(k) tax- and penalty-free: https://ef.prioritygoldpartners-17.com/58GQMR/JTCNH9/?sub2=0408&sub3=YT Call 866-703-9895 or text GUIDE to 24999.
