Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a BusinessAbout this episode
In this insightful episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki explores the critical financial decisions facing professionals like doctors and lawyers, particularly focusing on retirement planning and the relevance of financial planners. Kiyosaki introduces the historical context of the 1974 ERISA act leading to the emergence of 401ks and IRAs, highlighting the challenges baby boomers face with retirement due to these defined contribution pensions. Guest Ron Willoughby, a veteran of the financial services industry, sheds light on the transition from commission-based to fee-based financial advisement, its implications for investors, and the superior benefits of cash value life insurance over traditional stock market investments. Through their discussion, they underline the failures of the modern financial advising industry, critique the motives behind financial advisement, and argue for the importance of informed and diversified investment strategies beyond stock and real estate markets. ----- See important disclosures at masterworks.com/cd ----- 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.
