Robert Kiyosaki: 5 Money Mistakes That Keep You Working Forever

Financial education can change your financial future. But what if some of the most common money advice you've followed your entire life is exactly what's keeping you broke? Get a good job. Buy a house. Save your money. Stay out of debt. Sounds responsible, right? Robert Kiyosaki says those beliefs may be the reason so many hardworking people never achieve financial freedom. In this episode of *The Rich Dad Radio Show*, Robert reveals five money lessons the rich teach their kids that most people never learn in school. He starts with a question most people have never considered: How do you know if you're actually wealthy? It's not your salary. It's not necessarily your net worth. And the answer might completely change how you measure financial success. Robert also challenges one of the biggest purchases young families make, explains why saving money may not protect your purchasing power, and reveals why working harder doesn't always move you closer to financial freedom. And then there's the fifth lesson. It's about something most people have been taught to fear their entire lives—but something financially educated investors learn to approach very differently. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or wondering why years of hard work haven't created the freedom you expected, these five lessons will challenge how you think about earning, saving, investing, and building wealth. The question isn't how much money you make. It's whether you're learning how to make money work for you. 00:00 Broke Is a You Problem 02:30 Education Beats Motivation 03:37 Lesson One Wealth Is Time 05:51 Rigged System and Investing Pitch 08:21 Lesson Two House Is Liability 10:46 Lesson Three Inflation Eats Savings 12:57 Lesson Four Cashflow Quadrant 16:47 Right Side B and I 20:10 Lesson Five Good Debt 23:53 Time Starts With Education ----- Disclaimer: The information provided in this video is for educational and informational purposes only.
