Why I Don’t Care If the Market Crashes – Robert Kiyosaki, Alejandro Cardona
👉 Gold is up over 24% this year, and Wall Street is still pushing paper ETFs. But those are just IOUs. When the system cracks, paper gold won’t save you. Real gold—the kind you can hold—is the asset smart investors are turning to now.
The FREE Rich Dad Gold Forecast Guide shows how physical gold could keep rising—and how to move part of your IRA or 401(k) into gold tax- and penalty-free (U.S. Residents Only).

Most people panic when the market crashes. But what if you could actually profit from it?
In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Alejandro Cardona — an economist-turned-multimillionaire — to break down what real financial education looks like. Spoiler: It’s not what you learn in school.
Alejandro shares how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, playing the CASHFLOW® game thousands of times, and understanding technical trading allowed him to retire in his 30s — while most people are still stuck saving for retirement. They discuss why market crashes are a massive opportunity, not a threat, and how most traditional advice (like “save money” or “get out of debt”) is financially destructive.
If you’ve ever wondered how the rich think differently — and how to shift from fear to confidence — this episode is your blueprint.

Robert has been right about everything! Bitcoin currently hit all time high today 5-21-25
Because the value of the dollar collapses
Bond market has a gap to fill.
It’s a good time to buy IF you have $$$. Most people are struggling to pay rent, mortgage, insurance, utilities, food, etc. I had to sell gold I had last year to get thru. So frustrated- praying for wisdom, and favor. This is why I listen to you to learn even in my retirement years. Thank you
Did you get spot price for your gold you sold
Because you are participating in the game, and the game is rigged to keep you broke,
Same with ONDO imo, current fully diluted market cap is 9.6B and will go above 22B.
(Not financial advice, just my thoughts and 60% of my portfolio)
If you can’t afford to buy physical gold or silver, I’d recommend going to thrift stores and yard sales to look for sterling silver (not silver plated) items such as vintage knives, spoons, forks, etc. Also silver coins pre-1965 are worth money. They’re 20% silver. You never know what you’ll find!
The problem is not that you dont have money, the main problem is that you decided to take a mortgage when you got your first job at Mcdonalds and have given away your financial freedom by doing so. Robert always says, don’t buy a house until you have accumulated enough assets to pay for it without needing a job.
If you had invested All that money you are paying for the mortgage you would have accumulated enough money by now to buy a house cash
Florida home owners can’t sell their homes- the most homes for sale since 2008
Buy cheap
Robert been saying there will be a crash for 30 years LOL FUNNY AS HELL LOL
I was looking for this comment lol I agree
And now it’s here, aren’t you happy to know that, he was right
Where u been at last 3 months ?
If Robert has been saying that for 30 years, then he has been right multiple times, including the 2008 crash.
Thus, the question is not, will there be a crash or not, the question is; when will there be a crash.
It seen every 10 yrs the boat sick. Are 🎉 😂.
This was great to see. I hope there are a bunch of young people out there that saw this. I’m going to recommend it to all my young family members. Thank you Robert.
What a great testimony and interview. Super cool to see his gratitude!
Mankind is in bondage to fiat money, real estate, metals, cryptocurrencies, ect………
Thanks Robert. Alejandro has a Spanish Financial Podcast with Josue Peña, ´ít´s called ´´actitud millonaria´´, and it´s very extraordinary for remove some financial mental trash. So thanks once again.
And hence a Gold Rolex. A gift of gratitude and well deserved. What good interview Blessings.
Amidst shifting economic tides, the Fed’s early move on interest rates before hitting the 2% inflation mark signals a crucial turn for investors. This isn’t just about stocks and bonds reacting; it’s a ripe moment for crypto enthusiasts. As traditional markets recalibrate, the crypto world beckons with its promise of growth and diversification. It’s a call to action for investors to rethink strategies and possibly ride the wave of change that’s sweeping through the financial landscape…..managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 532k in the space of a five weeks… I’m especially grateful to Ken Halper whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
He’s mostly on Telegrams, using the user name.
@KenHalper
Access to good information is what we investors needs to progress financially and generally in life. this is a good one and I appreciate
Initially, I thought the idea of ‘market cycles’ was just noise. But after following Ken’s insights, I’ve seen the patterns come true. Now I’m a firm believer, and my wallet thanks him so much!
What I appreciate about Ken Halper is his ability to tailor strategies to individual needs. He recognizes that each investor has unique goals and risk tolerances, and he adapts his advice accordingly.
Alaxio is creating the kind of early noise I saw with projects that went 50x+.
Those are two legends! Thanks 👍
Alejandro an ace!
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US.
The FED knows. They aren’t committed to attacking inflation. They are going to continue to inflate, stocks and commodities will continue to go up with everything else. You can’t just sit on cash waiting for a crash, get your money working for you, start buying in slowly and then gradually increase the pace of buying as the prices continue to drop
In my opinion, now is not the moment to rely on hearsay. Every individual, regardless of their level of experience as an investor, requires guidance at some stage.
It’s often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
Please tell me how can I connect to your advisor. My funds are being murdered by inflation, therefore I’m looking for a more profitable investing strategy to put my portfolio to work.
It’s amazing you’re still working with such energy at your age.
Honestly Robert, you are absolutely Astonishing
Kiyosaki is getting annoying . “Market crash market crash my poor dad” dude you make such vague predictions then claim you’re smarter than everyone.
What a powerful conversation! The points about the importance of financial education beyond traditional schooling and the strategic use of assets and debt resonated deeply with me. Alejandro’s journey to financial freedom is incredibly motivating. This video is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to build wealth and navigate the current economic landscape. Many thanks for providing such an enlightening discussion!
These kids today have no financial education It’s time they really need to know how this world really works Or all will have nothing That’s what they want..It’s time to wake up out here..They will never know how to get out of debt..If they don’t learn what’s going on out here..They want people to be in debt and have nothing Tax the people till they all go broke It’s ime to get smarter, or go broke..Don’t trust the government to help you They don’t care what you have ..The smarter you get the more you will know on how to play this game out here..or most won’t make it..
Robert is not worried couse he has loads of cash .millions have not.
