Wish we could take a vote and see how many of you who commented on this subject are millionairs. Everyone of you is correct. I assumed you all have financial education and know more about investment than all of his books combined. You're also very wise to note that none of his advise give you a case to try! If he did, and bunch of uneducated idiots started to invest and lose their money based on his advice, then and only then he would be a bad person. He is making people curious, motivates them to see a better future and don't be bound to their jobs and a secure life. It is inspirational!

The passionate critiques coming from MF advocates are evidence of the healthy debate he has created amongst those with open attitudes to investment. Well done Robert!

I have built a multi million dollar empire of the advice from kiyosaki and his co-authors. so for those of you who try to say kiyosaki says nothing but drivel then you have no idea what you are talking about.

Typically of closed minded neo nazi people. Anyway, Kiyosaki is very on the mark, Mutual Funds are not the tools for winning, just playing it safe. I invest in vehicle with average annual returns of 36% or greater. What a waste to put your money into a mutual fund. A mutual fund is a diversified product for the unlearned masses who will not take the time to learn the rules of investing. Think about that, people who don't know how to invest put their money into an investement vehicle. What do you think happens. Sure, their money grows, for some, but it sure isn't a great living. Think of all you that have posted comments, are you financially wealthy? The answer is no, and you're pissed off that your not so you knock others. Robert has some very good points, and I for one am not a staunch follower of his, but lets face it, he has way more money than you, so he probably know more about how money works than you. The guy at the top is always hated. By the way, every financial person is required to tell you the same thing, all investments are not guaranteed. Once person commented that one person wanted to win big, so he put all him money into the stock on one internet company and lost it all. What about all the mutual funds that owned stock in those companies. What about all the mutual funds that only owned stock in internet companies. What about them? The government requires all register Reps that sell any investment product to disclose to their clients that their money is not gauranteed, and in fact they could loose it all. Frankly, I don't think that is a strategy for winning, only for loosing. So the uneducated masses will by this diversified product and slowly build a few dollars for retirement, and like on social security, while the financially literate will live happily and live the type of lives that they dream of while other pinch pennies and clip coupons in retirement and curse out the government for such a low Social Security check and blame everyone else for their problems, but realize that the problems has always been inside of you!! (evident by this ridiculous blog!) Wow, this blog is totally one sided, I wonder if the moderator is just canning all the Pro Kiyosaki and only posting the anti-Kiyosaki comments.

This article was UNIVERSALLY panned. It's funny that two months after getting so many negative reviews, Kiyosaki all of a sudden claims that, oh wait a minute, he didn't actually write that article, someone else did. And then he had the nerve to actually CHANGE the original article, and state that the words are from Tom Wheelwright. That introduction was not in the original article! Any way you look at it, when things started going bad, Kiyosaki pawned the blame off on someone else. What an absolute crock!
