‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ fame Robert Kiyosaki needs no introduction. He earned wide praise and fame due to this book, which advocates financial literacy. Through the book and beyond that too, Kiyosaki continues to inspire people to become financially smart and savvy, make their money work for them, and build wealth that lasts generations. There would hardly be anyone who wouldn’t want to make big bucks. But merely working their 9-to-5 job won’t help them achieve that goal. Yes, it does help pay the dues, but working for 30-40 years until retirement won’t amount to wealth creation. Think how quickly your salary evaporates once it is credited every month! Working for money is not the key to wealth; it should be the other way around, is what Kiyosaki suggests - “The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.” But there’s something even more important than making more money – how much you keep. Kiyosaki is widely known for book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ and his social media posts on smart investing, asset allocation strategies among other things. He had once famously commented on wealth building, suggesting more than it being about how much you make, it is about how much money one can keep.ALSO READ | Wealth wisdom of the day on making money: ‘You make most of your money in a bear market, you just…’ – Wise words from investor Shelby Cullom Davis “It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for,” Robert Kiyosaki once said. And it fits perfectly for the majority as most of us are just bombarded with options today. Everywhere you go, there’s someone or something trying to grab your attention and make you spend. Saving money could, at times, can feel like an uphill battle, but if one fights these urges, they can actually save significantly, build assets which eventually work for them. For example, investing in quality stocks can earn you money in the form of dividends, real estate can give rental yields and so on.Assets that can help you build wealth, retire early Not only does Kiyosaki suggest people to save money and build wealth, but he also greatly talks about passive income, calling real estate as one of the best ways to do so.

Rule No. 2...' – Warren Buffett’s advice for investors Owning a rental property could not only reduce the tax burden but also gradually ease the path to quitting the 9-to-5 race. For people who cannot start a business right away, Kiyosaki suggests putting money in paper assets like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. This way, people can earn money from companies without working inside them. Additionally, Kiyosaki has also widely propagated the idea of diversifying with commodities like gold, silver, and oil, as they hold real value over time. Investments in these commodities, Kiyosaki says, can protect wealth when the economy is unstable.
