He said that if he lost everything, including his businesses, real estate, and <span>gold<\/span>, and was left with $10,000 to start over, he would not invest any of it.<\/p>\n<p>The famous author said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m 79 years old. If I lost everything today, every business, every property, every ounce of <span>gold<\/span>, and someone handed me $10,000, I would not invest it. Not $1.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His refusal is central to the scenario, as he believes money produces different results depending on the knowledge of the person controlling it.<\/p>\n<p>The position contrasts with Kiyosaki\u2019s broader investment message. He has repeatedly recommended <span>gold<\/span>, silver and <span>bitcoin<\/span> as protection against what he calls \u201cfake money,\u201d warning that rising U.S. debt and flawed financial policies will erode fiat currencies. He describes <span>gold<\/span> and silver as \u201cGod\u2019s money\u201d and <span>bitcoin<\/span> as \u201cpeople\u2019s money,\u201d while emphasizing silver\u2019s monetary and industrial uses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c$10,000 in the wrong hands disappears. $10,000 in the right hands becomes freedom. Same money, different hands,\u201d Kiyosaki said. People commonly receive money and rush toward a stock, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrency<\/a>, or financial product they do not understand, he cautioned, adding: \u201cThat\u2019s the mistake. Not the stock, not the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a>, the rush.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Where Would the Money Go Instead?<\/h2>\n<p>Prior to buying any asset, Kiyosaki said his first expense would be education. \u201cBefore I invested a single dollar of that $10,000, I would invest in my financial education, a book, a seminar, time with someone who has already done what I want to do, a mentor,\u201d he shared. The purpose would be to rebuild his judgment before risking capital.<\/p>\n<p>Kiyosaki distinguished experienced mentors from financial advisers who primarily recommend products. He said he would seek guidance from someone who had built a business, purchased property, raised capital, or recovered from major losses. He argued that choosing the wrong source of financial guidance can be more costly than a market downturn, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThat difference is costing you more money than any market crash ever will.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe mistake is the rush. The fix is the mind,\u201d the renowned author said. From there, he would develop sales, marketing, and communication skills, which he describes as tools for generating income and presenting opportunities. He would also learn to analyze cash flow, identify undervalued properties, find investors, and structure partnerships capable of attracting outside capital.<\/p>\n<h2>What Could Destroy the Rebuilding Plan?<\/h2>\n<p>Finding deals that other people may want to finance forms the next stage of the plan. Instead of applying the $10,000 toward a down payment, he would use it to understand what separates a strong opportunity from a weak one. His claim that \u201ca great deal finds its own money\u201d reflects his investment philosophy, not a guaranteed result.<\/p>\n<p>Kiyosaki said the rebuilding strategy could fail if fear and greed influenced financial decisions. He argued that the greatest threats to the $10,000 would not come from the market, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-inflation\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflation<\/a>, or a financial crash, but from emotions:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t protect that $10,000 from the two things that destroy it first, not the market, not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-inflation\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflation<\/a>, not a crash, something much closer to home, two things you carry with you into every financial decision you will ever make.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fear and greed are \u201cthe two things that destroy $10,000 faster than any crash,\u201d he said. Fear can leave a person unwilling to act, while greed can push money into poorly understood opportunities. His answer is therefore not a particular asset: He would use the $10,000 to rebuild knowledge, earning power, and judgment before buying investments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/robert-kiyosaki-reveals-what-he-would-do-with-10000-if-he-lost-everything\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Robert Kiyosaki would use the hypothetical $10,000 for financial education, mentorship, and income-producing skills before purchasing assets.
