Summary

We spend years in school learning math, history, and science—but almost nothing about money. The truth is, the education system isn't designed to make you rich. It's designed to prepare you to be an employee. And that's why so many hardworking people stay broke, even with good jobs and college degrees.

In this episode, Robert Kiyosaki breaks down the money lessons schools never teach—and why the rich play by a different set of rules. You'll learn the difference between assets and liabilities, why the poor and middle class rely on paychecks while the rich build cash flow, and how financial education can change your future forever.

Robert also explains how the tax system, debt, and investing are misunderstood by most people—and how you can use them as tools to build lasting wealth.

If you've ever wondered why schools don't teach financial education, this video will open your eyes to the truth—and give you the first steps to escape the Rat Race.
