Rich Dad's 'Get smarter with your money' in Frisco on Saturday
By Brian Bearden, bbearden@acnpapers.com
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" book series, sees a dark cloud ahead because of taxes, especially on real estate.
He also sees now as a great time to build a fortune.
"I have never invested so heavily since the last recession," Kiyosaki said in a telephone interview. "This is the time to find deals. The prices are low. But the biggest thing we are watching right now is taxes."
"It is time to stop giving people fish," Kiyosaki said, going to lessons he learned in Sunday school. "It is time to teach people to fish and give them the power to solve their own financial problems."
Kiyosaki said that you can tell poor people from rich people by the way they talk.
The poor say "I'll never be rich. I'm not interested in money. The government should take care of people."
The middle-class say "I've got a high-paying, secure job. My home is my biggest investment. I'm investing in a well-diversified portfolio of mutual funds."
Kiyosaki said the rich say "I'm looking for good employees to work for me. I'm looking for a cash-flowing hundred-unit apartment house to buy. My exit strategy is to take my company public via an IPO. We do become our words."
The Rich Dad writer said his Rich Dad believed that 90 percent of the wealth can be owned by just 10 percent because the other 90 percent have given themselves poor educations when it comes to money.
That is an even bigger problem now because Kiyosaki said old industries are dying, taxes will rise, the United States is the biggest debtor nation, China is threatening the reserve status of the U.S. dollar, American consumers are loaded with debt and strapped for cash and unemployment is rising and because technology is invisible and inexpensive, you can do more with fewer employees. And, frugality is now cool.
"This will only add fuel to the economic crisis," Kiyosaki said. "When we as a country stop spending, unemployment rises and small businesses fail.
"Rather than feel fear, my friend Donald Trump and I are preparing for the challenges and tough times ahead. We have gone through tough times before. Each time we have come out smarter and even richer."
Kiyosaki said wealth is stolen through expenses: 1. Taxes. 2. Debt. 3. Inflation. 4. Retirement plans.
To build wealth, Kiyosaki said his plan is to
1. Invest in B-Class apartment buildings that are safe, clean and affordable for people who work.
2. He buys in areas where there are jobs. "We own apartment houses in Texas and Oklahoma where there are jobs in the oil industry. We do not own anything in Detroit, where jobs are leaving and real estate values are dropping."
3. He owns property where there are natural or government constraints. "We own apartments where there is a no-growth boundary around the city. In other words, the city cannot spread out any farther."
4. He said his strength is he has been in the same business for years and built a solid reputation. "This gives us credibility as good operators, even in a bad market. Great deals come to us because the banks trust us and send us deals that other investors can't get the financing for."
5. He said the key is staying with what he knows. "We do not invest in office buildings or shopping centers. That is not the business we are in."
Kiyosaki predicts life will become more expensive because of the increase in taxes, debt, inflation and retirement costs.
"Raising taxes forces people to live with more debt since more and more of your money goes to the government to fund programs. Credit cards will become more essential for daily survival. People without access to credit will slip below the poverty line.
"President Obama is already talking about raising taxes on people earning more than $250,000 a year. He is hiring more IRS agents to enforce tax collections. Taxing employer-sponsored health benefits to provide for those who do not have health benefits means that more businesses will be closing due to rising operational expenses and that there will be more unemployment."
Even worse he says is going after real estate.
"If the government reduces the tax deductions for interest on mortgages for families making over $250,000 a year, the second home real estate market will collapse. Housing prices will fall even more."
He says the new rules of money are:
1. Money is knowledge
2. Learn how to use debt
3. Learn to control cash flow
4. Prepare for bad times and you will only know good times
5. The need for speed
6. Learn the language of money
7. Life is a team sport. Choose your team carefully.
8. Since money is becoming worth-less and less, learn to print your own.
Just don't ask him if your house is an asset.
"My poor dad said his house was an asset. My rich dad said his house was a liability. So many people are in financial trouble now because they refer to their liabilities as assets. Even our political leaders refer to liabilities as assets. My rich dad said "assets put money in your pocket without you working. Liabilities take money from your pocket, even when you're working."

WHAT'S IN THE BREAKOUT SESSIONS
How to “Rent Stocks” to Produce 3-6% Per Month Cash Flow Regardless of Market Direction
SPEAKERS
Joseph Hooper and Aaron Zalewski of Compound Stocks Earnings
Compound Stock Earnings principals Joseph Hooper and Aaron Zalewski are nationally syndicated radio talk shows hosts, investors, financial educators and authors of the all time best selling book on its topic "Covered Calls and LEAPS: A Wealth Option".
Robert Kiyosaki wrote the foreword to "Covered Calls and LEAPS: A Wealth Option" declaring it a "Brilliant book... that makes investing for cash flow simple… This strategy is about a class of investor that likes to win, not gamble."
In their revolutionary philosophy of “growth through cash flow”, Compound Stock Earnings demonstrates how writing covered calls against stocks the correct way provides 3 - 6% per month consistent cash flow - regardless of market direction. This cash flow can provide income in retirement or, alternatively, can be reinvested on a monthly basis to dramatically compound the growth of a stock portfolio.
Those familiar with Robert Kiyosaki’s work are aware that mutual funds are the investment vehicles of the poor. The rich invest for cash flow and the CSE Covered Call technique is how you turn your IRA, 401(k), cash account or current stock portfolio into a monthly cash flow generating asset.
The break out seminar will be presented by CSE Principals Joseph Hooper and Aaron Zalewski.
