He breaks down how the price of silver coins is still far below their all-time highs, making them a smart buy for the average person at just $25 per coin. Kiyosaki explains how most people do nothing to prepare and instead hope politicians like Biden or Kamala Harris will fix things, but the real question is: what are YOU going to do? Kiyosaki’s rich dad taught him the importance of studying real estate, gold, and oil to become financially independent and sovereign. During an insightful interview, Robert Kiyosaki shares his thoughts on current global events like inflation, the U.S. dollar’s devaluation, and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
