Robert Kiyosaki Warns Baby Boomers Will Be ‘Biggest Losers'– Suggest Kids ‘Nudge' Parents To Sell Their Homes And Assets Before It's Too Late
Robert Kiyosaki is nothing if not consistent. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author and self-proclaimed "billionaire in debt" has built a reputation on predicting market doom and if you follow him on X, it feels like every week he's warning of the next big crash. But his latest post takes a sharp turn – even for him.

During market downturns, investors are learning that unlike equities, these high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% – 9% are protected by resilient assets, buffering against losses.
Kiyosaki, a staunch real estate investor who famously owns 15,000 properties, is now urging Boomers to sell their homes. Yes, sell. "If I were a child of a BOOMER ... I would nudge my parents to sell their home, stocks and bonds now ... while prices are high ... before the CRASH that is coming," he wrote in his recent post.
Coming from someone who's spent decades preaching the virtues of real estate, this feels like a plot twist. But Kiyosaki isn't one to sugarcoat his opinions and he's clear on who he thinks will take the hardest hit: Boomers. "When the stock market bursts ... BOOMERS will be the BIGGEST LOSERS," he warned, adding that their once-untouchable retirement assets – homes, 401(k)s and IRAs – won't be enough to save them.

Kiyosaki blames the same generation he's warning, arguing that Boomers have had it good for too long. "BOOMERS have been lucky," he said, pointing to how their generation drove up the real estate market in the 1970s and fueled the stock and bond boom with their 401(k)s. But now, he says, their aging population will turn those booms into busts.
