hindsight

20 years later

On June 1, 1967, The Beatles released the album "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club". Once it was released, it was a huge commercial success, staying at the top of the UK record chart for a full 27 weeks, and in the United States for 15 weeks. Time magazine declared the record "a historic start to musical progress". It won four Grammy Awards in 1968, as well as Album of the Year—the first rock album to ever do so.

Rich Dad Poor Dad was released 20 years ago, on April 8, 1997, my 50th birthday. Unlike the Beatles story, the book was not an immediate commercial success. Quite the contrary, the book's release was followed by a storm of criticism.

Rich Dad Poor Dad was originally self-published by me because every publisher rejected my request to publish. Some rejection notices come with comments such as "You don't even know what you're talking about." I know most publishers prefer my highly educated poor dad to my rich dad. They disagreed with rich dad's views on money...and neither did poor dad.

20 years later

In 1997, "Rich Dad Poor Dad" was a warning and a book to learn about the future. 20 years later, millions of people around the world are becoming more and more aware of rich dad's warnings and his lessons about the future, with 20 years of hindsight, many say his lessons were prophetic ...the prophecy was fulfilled. Some of these lessons are: Rich Dad Lessons: "Rich People Don't Work For Money" 20 years ago some publishers refused to publish my book because they didn't agree with rich dad's lessons.

Today, people are increasingly aware of the gap between the rich and the rest. From 1993 to 2010, more than 50% of national income in the United States was occupied by 1% rich people. After that, things got worse. Economists at the University of California found that between 2009 and 2012, 95% of state income went to 1% of the wealthy.

Lesson summary: Most of the increased income goes to entrepreneurs and investors, not to workers—people who work for money.

Rich Dad Lesson: "Saving is for Losers"

Twenty years ago, most publishers vehemently rejected the idea of rich dad. For the poor and middle class, "saving money" is their belief, which can save them from poverty and protect them from harm in this cruel world. For many, calling savers "losers" is like blaspheming God.

Lesson Summary: A picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at this 120-year chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to see why and how savers became losers.

This graph proves that there were three huge stock market crashes in the first decade of this new century and shows these three stock market crashes in detail.

The first crash was the tech crash around 2000. The second and third times were the real estate market crash in 2007, followed by the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008.

1929 Great Depression

When you compare the three crashes of the early 21st century with the Great Depression of 1929, you can see how "big" the first three crashes of this century were.

print money

The chart below shows that after each crash, the US government and the Federal Reserve Bank started to "print money".

save the rich

Between 2000 and 2016, banks around the world started cutting interest rates and printing money in the name of saving the economy. Yet our leaders want us to believe they are saving the world, when in reality the rich are only saving themselves, not pulling the poor and middle class into the train to be saved.

Interest rates are below zero in many countries today, which is why saving is for losers. The losers today are the poor and middle class who work for money and save it.

Rich Dad Lesson: "Your House Is Not an Asset"

20 years ago, in 1997, every publisher who rejected me was against rich dad's idea that "your house is not an asset".

Ten years later, in 2007, when subprime mortgages started defaulting on their loans, the global housing bubble began to burst, and millions of homeowners discovered the truth the hard way—their homes were not assets.

real problem

Most people don't know that the housing market crash wasn't really a crash.

The poor didn't cause the housing crash, the rich did. The wealthy devised a series of derivative financial products - products that Warren Buffett once called "weapons of mass destruction". When this WMD goes off, the real estate market crashes...and then the poor, the subprime mortgages are blamed.

It is estimated that in 2007 there were about 700 trillion US dollars of financial derivatives.

Today, it is estimated that there are still $1200 trillion in financial derivatives. In other words, the substantive problems are getting bigger, not smaller.

Rich Dad Lesson: "Why the Rich Pay Less Taxes"

Twenty years ago, some publishers criticized "Rich Dad Poor Dad" for exposing the secret of the rich paying less taxes. One of them even said the content was illegal.

Ten years later, in 2007, President Barack Obama ran again against former Gov. Mitt Romney. When it was revealed that President Obama used nearly 30% of his personal income to pay taxes, while Mitt Romney only paid less than 13% in taxes, Mitt Romney's approval rating went from bad to worse, and he eventually lost the election. In 2016, taxes were once again at the center of the US presidential campaign.

Even when presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised to raise taxes on the wealthy, she only promised to raise taxes on high earners — such as doctors, actors, and lawyers — who weren’t really rich.

20 years ago

While "Rich Dad Poor Dad" didn't have the immediate success of a Beatles record, it hit the New York Times bestseller list in 2000 and stayed there for nearly seven years. Also in 2000, Oprah Winfrey called. I was on Oprah's show. For a full hour, as everyone said, "what happened next is known".

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" has become the best-selling personal financial management book in history, and the "Rich Dad" series of books have sold nearly 40 million copies worldwide.

Was there really a rich dad?

Countless people have asked, "Is there really a rich dad?" To find out, you can listen to a radio show featuring rich dad's son, Mike. You can listen to the show at Richdadradio.com.

Rich Dad Institute

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is easy to understand, so almost everyone can understand the rich dad's lessons in the book.

For those who want to learn more, and as a celebration of my rich dad's 20th anniversary, I wrote another book - "Why the Rich Get Richer".

Why the Rich Get Richer goes into greater detail about the wisdom my rich dad taught his son and me about money and investing. "Why the Rich Get Richer" is reserved for those who are ready to further study in "Rich Dad Poor Dad", and it is also reserved for students of rich dad by the graduate school.

It's a warning and an invitation

I tried my best to keep Why the Rich Get Richer as accessible as possible, but it wasn't easy. Deciphering what the rich do requires a real financial education, which our schools, unfortunately, have so far failed to provide.

I recommend reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" first, and then if you want to learn more, "Why the Rich Get Richer" is for you.
