Robert Kiyosaki has issued one of his starkest warnings yet about the collapse of purchasing power in the United States. A popular American investor and writer – best known for his bestseller “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” – believes that the same $100 that once lasted an American for a few months is now worth little.

In a social media post on the last day of November, Kiyosaki presented over a century of inflation history in one summary:
- 1900 – for $100 you could buy groceries for 8 months
- 1960 – $100 it was worth $37.
- 2000 – $100 it was worth $6.
- 2025 – $100 is worth $3.80.

Kiyosaki says most Americans are still guided by outdated financial habits. Especially the belief that saving cash makes them financially responsible. However, he claims that these habits are the cause of today's financial problems.
“Savers are losers.” A famous investor is sounding the alarm
Robert Kiyosaki's message is blunt. “The losers in this collapsing economy will fight like dogs… clinging to old dollar ideas… just like the rest of the world's losers,” he wrote in a post on the “X” platform.
The investor, entrepreneur and writer says people don't want to see how much inflation has weakened the dollar. His “lesson #2,” as he called it, is: “Stop thinking like a loser. Open your mind… look for new ideas to make money. Old ideas are expensive. New ideas are FREE.”

Kiyosaki's message is based on advice he first published nearly 30 years ago. In the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, published in 1996, he wrote the famous sentence: “Savers are losers.”
With inflation hitting modern households harder than at any time in the last 40 years, Kiyosaki says this statement has never been more relevant.
Robert Kiyosaki advises what to do with money
For many years, the popular entrepreneur has believed that fiat currency (not backed by tangible goods) has structural flaws because it is not secured by fixed assets. In his post, he outlined the timeline of his investment strategy:
- silver since 1965
- gold since 1972
- bitcoin from 2019
- ethereum from 2023
In his view, these assets, not the dollar, constitute “real money” whose value cannot be devalued by government money printing.
