Kiyosaki also warned that the problem is exacerbated by the world’s debt, the United States being among the most indebted countries.
The combination of rising inflation, the burden of debt, and the weakening of the retirement system, he said, could lead to financial problems, especially among the elderly.

Overall, Kiyosaki stressed that investors should avoid stocks that are highly sensitive to financial growth, such as fiat currencies and traditional instruments.
