‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ Author: I’m Preparing for Economic Collapse

“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author Robert Kyosaki is not convinced that the worst days of the recession are behind us. Whether it’s financial markets and big business going under, war, natural disaster or government crisis, the financial adviser and motivational speaker suspects hard times could be ahead in the coming decade.

“There are two possible extremes, or financial concerns. We can either go into a depression, or we can go to hyperinflation,” says Mr. Kyosaki in a recent web video. “Or we could also go to war which is one way people think we could solve the problem:”

Mr. Kyosaki suggests investing in precious metals, buying a gun and storing food, in a cautious “rather be safe than sorry” mindset.

“Remember this, the police cannot prevent a crime, only you can do that,” he adds. “They can only investigate it after you’re dead.”

He also suggests investing wisely and organizing your fiscal house. For example, he cautions that if the credit card systems shut down, the world shuts down.

“If I’m preparing for the worst, there is a good chance it won’t happen.”

Mr. Kyosaki is best known for authoring the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” series and has sold over 26 million books. He has previously spoken in regards to what he calls “the conspiracy of the rich,” and the new rules of money.

    Big thing is being prepared to go without electricity. Don’t freeze food, no refrigeration, no electric stoves, natural gas will soon fail due to pumping station outages, no water for the same reason, there will be no phones little radio, no TV, no air conditioning, no heat, no internet. Gas generators are at best stop gap till you run out of fuel. Solar panels make very little power and only work during daylight.

    Think about it.

      Initially gas generators are probably good but … what about when no gas is left? Or worse yet, what about when some roving band of thugs hear your gas generator running and you become a target? Or, that roving band see your lights in your home from afar?

      Solar is the only way to go for electricity needs and then only to run extremely important items like a refrigerator/freezer. You can get a decent solar generator (not that thing advertised on beck’s program) for around $3K that is large enough to actually run your refrigerator AND it’s more or less portable.

      If you get solar, and this does happen, just be sure to cover your windows solidly so no light escapes during night alerting the thieves of your existance.

      Depends on what you are trying to run and how much fuel you have on hand. For me I want something that can run a pump for a reverse osmosis water filtration system. Large loads like air conditioners, heaters or electric stoves are simply not practical to run on a generator due to the limited amount of stored fuel on hand. The best system is a solar array & large battery bank paired with a slow turning diesel generator. The generator only recharges the battery bank when needed thus saving loads of fuel.

      As for generators, stick with 1800rpm diesel that are water cooled. They are better at fuel consumption (.24 gal / hr @ 1/2 load for a 5.5kw diesel genset VS .55gal / hr @ 1/2 load for a 5.5kw gas genset. At least with a diesel genset as a last resort you can run PVO or used filtered cooking oil for fuel and being water cooled it will hold up on hot summer days.

      @LogicTrumps…

      The generator is nice and I would agree with your assessment, but we‘re talking emergency survival here where one doesn’t need to run that much other than a few convenience items. A couple CFL bulbs (or LED bulbs if you can find good ones would be even better), a small refrigerator/freezer, and if you live in the country, a 110VAC well pump to give yourselves running water. A small solar generator will handle that (2 or 3 good panels with a 4 battery storage system) would work in most parts of the US. The beauty of this sort of system is you can toss (well, not toss, but you know what I mean) it into the back of a station wagon or pickup truck and take it with you if you have to bug out.

      In my mind, at least, it’s one of the best $3-4 K investments that can be made as an insurance policy. We can live fine without lights, but it’s a lot harder to live without running water and even harder yet to live without refrigeration. Yes, they used to for all of known time until recently, but we’ve lost those skills and it would be a very tough thing to do for most people today. (I am stuck on solar only because gas/diesel will become very hard to acquire and the noise of those running generators will attract people you’d probably be better off not attracting).

      I agree with you. I only mentioned the generators because of the previous post. I did state the most ideal system would be a solar array & battery bank with a standby generator to charge the batteries in the event of bad weather or high load. The generator would simply be for peace of mind.

      Have to agree with you about water vs lights & air conditioning! A Reverse osmosis high pressure pump is more than capable of running on a cheap solar system to give you vast quantites of water.

      Guns scare me but I am shopping around for a shotgun to use for self-protection. The rioting in the Mideast and the mobs in the U.S. cities has convinced me the world is going crazy. A breakdown in the food and gasoline distribution systems will cause a general panic. The U.S. has little excess capacity in the event of an emegency such as a nuclear accident, a dirty bomb, a major earthquake or millions of Mexicans fleeing north in the event of a food shortage or a contagion.

      My suggestion for the survivalists is to also get some durable cold weather clothing and have bicycles and carts for transportation. Have tents, sleeping bags and other camping supplies in the event there is no electricity or heating full. After a few weeks, the military and para-military will establish feeding centers in the FEMA camps, stadiums, barbwire enclosures, etc.

      If there is a collapse in the global debt markets, there will either be no money or worthless money. It will take months to get the Amero and a global exchange currency in general use. Greece should collapse this summer and provide an example of what could happen on a global scale.

    Of course they are wrong. I personally don’t see how it can not happen. The world is going to see an economic crash that is unprecedented in modern history. My best guess is 2012.
    I have the guns and ammo, food storage, gold/silver, 20kv generator. I would also look at some remote land to plant vegetables etc., dehydrator, literature on how to dress out deer, moose etc. manual meat grinder, sun lamps, solar panels/windmill

His agenda is odious but the fact that he has been a successful investor should not be denied. The way he has manipulated markets to suit his investments is masterful and diabolical at the same time. He is worthy of praise for his success and scorn for his means and ends.

    “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
    And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~Jesus

      Totally true.. however; we are also to be as wise as serpants; but as harmless as doves. Remember Joseph. Sold into slavery only to rise to second only to Pharoah. God warned of 7 fat years followed by 7 lean years. Joseph prepared because he had faith; not because he had no faith. Also consider to parable of the talents.. action by the sevants was praised by the Master. Inaction; the one who buried his talent and did nothing; was condemned. God gives each of us brains and influence; the ability to make decisions. If we choose to not to make one or consider the obvious when it is in our face; how are we being faithful stewards ? I choose to prepare because God has given me eyes to see and ears that hear; nothing is really under our control; but being willingly unprepared in my opinion, is not faith. It is tempting the Lord your God and is forbidden.

I just happen to think that, if you are a believer, this is not the time to “close up shop” on our calling to do the work that advances our Father’s kingdom so that we can amass a stockpile of food and ammunition to protect ourselves against an event or situation that may or may not ever come. Jesus warned about being preoccupied with the worries of life, and how it can actually be a tool to keep us distracted from what the good Lord really has for us to do… and, I’m not judging anyone here… I’m just giving my 2 cents.

      You have already been told about Joseph and the warning of the coming famine.

Yes, I take my family to a doctor when they are ill. These things have been provided to me by God, but it requires action on my part to receive the blessings… I understand.
      What I don‘t feel God calling me to do is store up a year’s supply of food or more (has anybody talked about the fact of that being an historical tradition of the Mormon religion anyway… nothing against Mormons, but a Mormon I am not) out of a spirit of fear of a calamity that may or may not occur.

    Then and now, I say, police CANNOT protect you. They can only investigate a crime after it occurs.
    YOU have to protect yourself. This is part of why we have the right to keep and bear arms.
    Who will protect the boy? Well, I hope HIS PARENTS will protect him! Short of having 1/2 of the population be police and protect 1:1 the other 1/2 of us, it is impossible for police to protect us.
    Actually, it would require 5/6 of us to protect the other 1/6 due to three 8 hour shifts.
    Actually, it would require 37/42 to protect the other 5/42 of us due to 5 day workweeks.

      The claim that police are there to protect you is false. The police have no duty to protect. If they did, they would be partly at fault for crime. This has been proven in court. The duty of the police is to deter crime by investigating and arresting those who are criminals. The justice system finishes the job by punishing criminals. Without the police and justice system, crime would be an economically feasible way to make a living. Self protection is everybody’s duty. Being squeamish about guns provides no protection against those who would impose their will upon you. If you are squeamish about guns, all the more reason to get yourself to the range.

They just don’t get it and frankly I am tired of telling the same people the same thing about preparation. It’s not so much that the world will end blah blah blah, but more along the mindset of better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

    Those who procrastinate will reap the repercussions of their decision if SHTF. Those who think the police will be sitting around waiting for your call for help are going to be greatly disappointed as well.

Another thing Dave Ramsey has said to NEVER EVER EVER do is buy gold… he considers it one of the worst investments one can hold. Much like Beck, he believes that we the people make this economy what it is, but also believes that it is recovering and will continue to do so no matter who is in office. One of his recent quotes is, and I’m paraphrasing, “If you’re looking for anyone in the White House, Republican or Democrat, to change your life… you’re an idiot.”

You can bash him and his investing advice on not buying things based on fear, but if this had been 15 years ago, you would have cussed anyone who said gold was good, because it purely didn’t perform. You are calling Dave an idiot because he doesn’t like a flash in the pan investment with a lousy track record, now that’s pure fallacy.

Thank God for Glenn and his teaching….it may be too late for some, it amazes me how many people (and I work within the financial counseling industry) refuse to even look at how bad things could be! They laugh when i counsel my co-workers to prepare…they laugh and say, “we’re coming to your house if the shtf!” I tell them, “don’t bother, if you don’t take the time to prepare yourselves, you won’t be welcome” If you prepare and you have a skill or a thing to offer, then you could be welcome, but otherwise, don’t bother.

      I am sorry that you are already going through this. I am afraid the larger the town or city, the worse it is going to be to live there. But nowhere is this going to be a walk in the park. When you look at the big picture on the food supply (floods in ND, storms across MO, KS drought in AZ, NM, TX; flooded Mississippi where we saved towns and destroyed food crops, EU throwing out produce, floods and drought in Australia and then CA and Japan) it it only logical that food is going to be more difficult. But, if we can already see this, we just need to prepare, and help others and we will get through it.

      There a short story that can answer your question: There was a man whose farm was located on the banks of a flood-swollen river. As the water rose, a neighbor drove up in a Jeep, urging him to leave before the farm was flooded.

      “Oh, no,” said the man confidently, “God will save me.”

      The water rose higher, and the man was forced to move into the second story of the farmhouse. A police boat soon came, and the officers called for the man to hurry and get into their boat.

      “Oh, no, that won’t be necessary,” the man insisted. “God will save me.”

      Finally the house was completely engulfed in water, and a Coast Guard helicopter swooped in to rescue the man, now perched on the roof. Again he refused. Just then, a huge wave of water swept over the house, and the man drowned.

      When he got to heaven, he stormed at the Lord, asking WHY God had let him die when his faith had been so strong.

      “What do you mean?” asked the heavenly Father. “I sent a Jeep, a boat, and a helicopter … and you wouldn’t budge!”

      God give us everything we need… sometimes it is a Gun.

      Can only give you my opinion on your question “What is the need for the gun and food storage if you have God?” And really am answering the food part…When we read about Jesus feeding the multitudes, we see him using what food was there, but blessing and multiplying it, both times. He could have conjured up fish and bread, but he did not. So, for me, it is seeing or hearing what I think is in the future and doing my part.

      Read your bible, God’s people have had to fight throughout history. Sometimes He delivered their enemies into their hands but other times they had to fight. If the WORLD collapses it is outrageous to think you will not need to protect yourself unless you expect the gvmt to SAVE you. Some fights lasted so long that Moses could no long keep his arms raised (read the story for this to make sense) he had to have a man on each side to hold up his arms in order for them to prevail and win and trust me, God was there with them the entire time.

      Unfortunately, in WW2 people knew something was coming but unsure what and when lots of jews had a chances to escape prior to being loaded onto trains but they refuse to believe it could happen to them in their own towns.

On the way at night to visit Jesus the lamps ran out of oil. The girls with the extra oil filled there lamps and went on – the other had to go buy some more oil. When the girls who had to buy the extra oil got to the door to visit Jesus it was closed and locked!

I just happen to think that, if you are a believer, this is not the time to “close up shop” on our calling to do the work that advances our Father’s kingdom so that we can amass a stockpile of food and ammunition to protect ourselves against an event or situation that may or may not ever come. Jesus warned about being preoccupied with the worries of life, and how it can actually be a tool to keep us distracted from what the good Lord really has for us to do… and, I’m not judging anyone here… I’m just giving my 2 cents.

      @RNM-In your last post you implied that all this talk of guns and food storage is a distraction from what God might be trying to tell you. But, if you go back to the stories of the early Christian missionaries who went to countries where there was famine, they could not get the people to understand or convert. This is because their bellies were empty. No one can listen for the promptings of the Lord when all they can hear is the rumblings of their tummy. Right now my family is in a tight spot. However, we have a little set aside and I know that I have something to put into my children’s bellies. Because I have that assurance I can consentrate on the promptings of the Spirit. If we did not have storage… nothing could get to my mind and heart except the need for food.

      @to all the people who replied to this comment so far

      Did Jesus Christ carry a sword to defend Himself and His family? Did Jesus Christ make sure to carry extra food and water in His journeys to make sure He and His disciples physical needs were met?

      No. Jesus actually taught His followers to not concern themselves with the future, but to concern themselves with the present. Why? Because what you do in the present effects the outcome of the future. You can either spend an entire day working on changing the problems that plague you in the present, or you can spend the entire day in worry about future events that may, or may not, come to pass and do nothing to fix the problems that lay at your own feet.

      Buying guns, stocking up on ammo and food supplies will NOT protect a country of people whose currency is worthless on the world market. How are guns going to stop a Chinese, Russian, or even Mexican invasion of the United States? If the U.S. dollar is worthless, how does the United States government purchase or manufacture arms to defend it’s borders?

      Quit worrying about tomorrow and do EVERYTHING you can to make a difference TODAY. Call Senators and Representatives and BOLDLY educate EVERYONE you come in contact with to do the same. United, we can change the future, divided we will repeat the past.

      Be prepared or be dead. It’s that stark and that simple. But oh no, I’ll have all this extra food if nothing happens! If nothing happens you can eat for ‘free’ for a year!!! Or keep rotating it because someday SOMETHING will happen! If you’re just tired of this life then do nothing. But I hear that malnutrition, infection and disease is not such a pleasant way to go. Of course a roving band of looters might kill you quickly. Then again they might torture you for fun for a while too. Be conservative. Take your life into your own hands!

      I have a ceramic filter system for water purification. It‘s sweet and it’s cheap. A church/aid group used it in Haiti to purify water from a severely contaminated pond (you can imagine…) and create perfectly potable water. The company is ‘Monolithic’. Here’s the link:. http://shop.monolithic.com/products/just-water-ceramic-drip-filter Among other things, these guys in Texas make concrete dome homes. But the water filter is cheap and very effective. Get the whole bucket system with the pressurizer if you can and don’t modify it because you can introduce contaminated water into pure if you are not careful. I am not affiliated with them in any way, I just love their simple, effective system. I also got a bunch of 6 gallon water jugs and a 12V water pump to connect to my truck battery to pump water from a lake near my house.

      Its not crazy talk its insurance. We have insurance for all kinds of things this is a good idea for everyone. Its not that expensive to buy and its mostly stuff that lasts a long time.
      1. Gun and lots and lots of ammo because ammo would become currency and its cheap when things are normal but greatly more valuable in an emergency of any kind.
      2. Silver coins. Quarters,dimes will be worth much more in an emergency
      3. Toilet paper – yes toilet paper = lots and lots of toilet paper to trade for food,fuel.whatever
      4. $60 worth of canned and dry food.
      5. 4 or 5 empty 5 gallon water jugs or bucketsto fill last minute of power or rain.

      If you can afford it get a 5kw generator for about $600 and keep 20 gallons of gas at the house.
      A couple of 50ft extension cords and splitters

      I’m sure many other can add to the list and it depends on your budget. many don‘t like the gun but it is essential for your family’s safety. Lock it up – put the ammo away from it – you cannot do this without a gun

Gotta’ agree on the poor getting poorer in his case though; He’s still living at home, jobless, a waste of good Texas air. Anyone up North wanna’ trade us a conservative for him?

      USA Emergency Supplies is a good site.

      https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/food_storage/dehydrated_foods.htm

      Dehydrated costs less than freeze dried. Water filtration system & extra filter. Rice, beans, flour, canned meat, canned vegetables, whatever is on sale at the grocery, buy 1 or 2 extra & put back.

      Not if, but when. Prepare now so you can help family & friends

      @ HI, as of a week ago, he still thinks that gold and silver as an investment (whether it’s tangible and in front of you, or not) is still a foolish investment. He still says it’s only based on fear. I’ll challenge you on your position, and use proof. Go to his website if you doubt me.

      For all who are interested and haven’t read it already, here is advice from someone who experienced the hyperinflation and economic collapse of Argentina and how to possibly prepare for it here in the US although our collapse will probably be times ten in severity.

      Prepared for the coming storm here, it will come, it is just a matter of time. When the have-nots and the anti-captialistic revolutionary left start their mischief, it will become nightmarish. Nine meals form anarchy or one real or false flag event away from chaos. If you look at the stock market and feel safe, think again! The fundamentals of everything is in uncharted waters, and the complete intertwining of global markets, watch out for geopolitcal or natural disasters as a possible catalyst as well. Jobs, housing, debt, taxes, wars, entitlements and a global credit crunch are the crux of our woes, and none will be fixed any time soon. PREPARE for all contingencies and be patient! Get in shape!

      God Bless America!

      Dave Ramsey is right about gold and silver.

      Gold and silver have NO intrinsic value at all. They’re just metals. Just try to eat a gold coin or a silver fork.

      The only far-fetched reason to invest in these metals is in the hopes that, after a currency collapse, these metals will still retain their inflated value. Then, with whatever new currency eventually replaces the old, one could sell the gold and silver and maintain some form of wealth. Its highly speculative, depends on too many unforeseeable factors and, thus, borders on foolish. Good rule of thumb: if G. Gordon Liddy thinks its a wise thing to do then it probably isn’t.

      Commodities is where you should invest and stockpile. If the markets do crash and all money is rendered worthless, the ones with the can-goods, water, gasoline, baby formula, booze/wine, tobacco, medicines and guns & ammo etc will have a great deal of position and power.

      It ought to be interesting….

      I found another good reason to stock up on food. I did as a lot of you suggested; buying food on sale and stored in pantry. I backfilled from time to time as I used the food. I found that I could wait for the next sale for those items before buying the backfill. Nice surprise learning that all the while I was saving half of the cost of all the items I put in my pantry. And the savings were ongoing as long as you backfill when items are on sale. Saving a bundle and have a nice full pantry!

      all great advice. yet dont forget the best way to get quality food is to grow it raise it or hunt it. harvest it and can it or dehydrate it. and all the water in the world wont do crap if you cant drink it, so i suggest a good water filter be in your survival supplies. when talking about firearms bolt actions are great for hunting and sniping but autoloaders are the best choice for protection. get your large capacity magazines now before its too late. JNOBFAN is right toilet paper will be a huge commodity. i keep around 100 gallons of clean water around at all times i rotate the drinking water and treat the other water with bleach. from my garden i will have my years supply by summers end, we’ll see how the hunting goes this year. good luck all, and be safe!!!

      I too am thinking semi-seriously about moving to Texas. Conservatives may have to make a last stand somewhere and Texas may be shaping up to be the Alamo on a grand scale! I wish all Conservatives could just come here to California and deport all the ******** in the process. What a paradise it is naturally here and could be politically too if people just used a little bit of common sense. I love the forests, lakes and mountains of my native California but the majority of people here are detached from reality.

      Why is it that a little sustained affluence drives people insane? We’ve got such a sweet thing here. All we had to do was take care of it. But noooo, California has to tax, spend and regulate business into bankruptcy and hound the individual with intrusive big brother government. Thus people, money and business (when they’re not failing) are hemorrhaging out of the state like a cut artery… Government is becoming desperate. I got a speeding ticket the other day and there were 6 superfluous charges tacked onto it- doubling the amount. The idiots are going to lose their jobs anyway.

      Here everything just keeps getting stranger and stupider and more insane by the day. The economy is collapsing but total collapse may be the best solution. Well I’ve got my year or two of food, guns and other survival tools and skills. The soft, senseless Liberals can’t survive a deep collapse. It’s coming. Some days I pray for it. We’re well overdue for a serious culling

If they dare begin to move out of the cities towards the suburbs we sack the ghettos. Lets be prepared to counter attack if necessary. The cops will side with the urban mob so forget about them.

      Yes, God does help those who help themselves. I can tell you that from experience. Why the hell do you think God have you arms, legs and a brain to operate them with? God is revealed in the process and everywhere else for that matter but mostly in the process. Don’t let God down and he will return the favor.

      There is a time for every purpose under heaven. Don’t close up shop. Just get your @ss ready to fight and survive to love another day. Of course you can always deny the obvious and die along with all of the deluded. If that’s what you choose, then that’s God’s plan for you. My neighbor knows what is coming and he is a very devout man. But he has chosen to lie down and “put his life in God’s hands”. We are all already in God’s hands. We are animated by God. That doesn’t mean we have to lay down and die with the rest of the lost. There’s also a time to fight. Besides every day seemingly, now is a great time to fight to live. God loves those who fight the good fight too! God’s love is not all lovey-dovey. Love can be terrible to behold as well.

      Doc_Slamin: Jesus did not need a weapon, he is the right hand of God. We do not enjoy that same advantage. Presently it is the time to prepare for disaster. Guns, if wielded correctly will protect individuals and individuals make up a country. So guns can protect a people who have no economic weapons or defense. The foolish and weak will be purged and the strong will survive to build a better America.
