When Robert Kiyosaki was young, his poor dad always told him that he needed to go to school so that he could get a good job.  To his poor dad, getting a good job was the most important thing in life.  His poor dad worked very hard . . . and he was always worried about money.  Yet, he never got ahead.  His job was actually one of the things that kept him from succeeding.  He toiled away working for others, often getting raises only to keep with the cost of living and pay a high percentage to the government in taxes.

On the other hand, Robert’s rich dad never had a “real” job, and he was rich and successful.  Rich dad understood that the sentiment, “get a job”, was a scam.  Rather than get a job, he made jobs.  Rather than work for someone else, he worked for himself.  Rather than pay high taxes, he used the tax code to get rich.

With perspectives on money and investing that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned an international reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and courage and has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for financial education.  The “Millennial Money” series of videos seeks to provide young people with some important economic concepts that they didn’t learn in school.
