Robert Kiyosaki, author of personal finance bestseller "Rich Dad Poor Dad," warns hyperinflation will make life "very expensive" for Americans unprepared for currency devaluation. The financial educator issued his alert following the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate cut, arguing the policy shift signals a return to quantitative easing that will weaken the dollar.
What Happened: Rate Cut Warning
Kiyosaki responded to the Fed's decision by predicting severe economic consequences. "The FED lowered interest rates... signaling QE (quantitative easing) or turning on the fake money printing press," he stated. "This will lead to hyperinflation... making life very expensive for the unprepared."
The author disclosed he purchased additional silver after the rate cut. He projects silver could reach $200 per ounce in 2026, up from $20 in 2024.
Kiyosaki recommends buying tangible assets including gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
He previously described the global economy as deeply indebted, warning governments will print money to stabilize markets.

Why It Matters: Asset Strategy
Kiyosaki emphasizes cash-flow-generating investments as protection against market volatility.
He advocates for assets like real estate, oil wells and private investments that produce income without requiring panic selling during downturns.
"The key to growing wealth is to own assets that generate cash flow," Kiyosaki stated. "If you are fearful and need cash like most of the world, you may want to sell your best assets. I do not need cash. I am going to get richer when the fake economy crashes."
He indicated plans to acquire more Bitcoin once markets stabilize, citing the cryptocurrency's fixed supply of 21 million coins.
Kiyosaki argues this "Big Print" monetary policy will increase hard asset values as fiat currency weakens.
