Summary

What if everything you’ve been told about retirement is a lie? In this episode of Rich Dad World, Robert Kiyosaki and a panel of experts, including Andy Tanner and Marin Katusa, break down why 401(k)s aren’t the wealth-building vehicles you think they are—and how the rich actually invest to generate cash flow.

Forget buy-and-hold strategies and risky stock market speculation. The wealthy don’t just invest in paper assets—they focus on cash-flowing businesses, real estate, and alternative assets like commodities and carbon credits. Marin Katusa dives into game-changing investments that are being used by some of the biggest companies in the world.

If you’re relying on a 401(k) for your future, you might be in for a rude awakening.

This episode reveals: - Why 401(k)s make Wall Street rich—not you - How carbon credits could be bigger than Bitcoin - Why financial education is your greatest asset - The real investment strategies of the ultra-rich

Stop playing by Wall Street’s rules. Learn what the rich do differently—and how you can take control of your financial future today!

Please read carefully.

This is not financial advice.

You may be asking, “what does that mean?”

Let me explain…

Do not just do what I, my team, or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.

YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity, or how much money you can afford to lose.

We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.

Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.

Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.
