The Financial Game Has Changed - Are You Playing by the Right Rules?

What if everything you've been taught about money is dangerously outdated? In "Unfair Advantage," Robert Kiyosaki reveals a startling truth: the rich don't work for money - they make money work for them. Since 1971, when the dollar left the gold standard, the financial landscape transformed completely. Today, savers become losers as inflation erodes purchasing power, while strategic borrowers build wealth. The old formula of getting a degree, finding a secure job, and investing in a 401(k) has become a path to financial vulnerability rather than security. The wealthy operate by entirely different rules - rules that most people never learn because our educational system was designed to create employees, not entrepreneurs or investors.
