Within the next 20 years, the law encouraging the current way of preparing for retirement would be unsustainable. As the baby-boomers get older and retire, they would withdraw their investments from the stock market, causing a huge demand deficit and hence causing a crash. Kiyosaki also relates well to the changing demographics with the coming crash. Kiyosaki urges us to start building our arks' for the future. His safest bet is on financial education. Paper-assets-diversification is for people who don't have time to educate themselves financially. But if you are a savvy investor, the way to go is concentration. Concentration amplifies the returns due to the risk but education reduces the risk. The only diversification we should do is education and between asset classes.
