Why Hope is Not a Retirement Plan – Robert Kiyosaki, Ted Siedle, John MacGregor




Retirement fund giant, CALPERS, voted in early November to use borrowed money and alternative assets to meet its investment-return target, even after lowering that target just a few months ago. Today’s guests discuss what this means for retirees depending on their pension for their financial future. 

New York Times reported, “The move by the $495 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System reflects the dimming prospects for safe publicly traded investments by households and institutions alike and sets a tone for increased risk-taking by pension funds around the country.”

Ted Siedle, the co-author of “Who Stole My Pension” says, “These state and local pensions are refusing to give participants in the fund and taxpayers a prospectus on the fund. The money is all secret.” 

John MacGregor, Author of the book “The Top 10 Reasons the Rich Go Broke” and a Certified Financial Planner says, “With this shortfall, we’ve got 10,000 people hitting retirement every single day, these states are heading for a pension crisis.” 

Host Robert Kiyosaki and guests Ted Siedle and John MacGregor discuss the number one problem facing retirees today, and what you can do about it.

    Robert is so right i once had an uncle who was a government pilot he was "very rich" then one day the airline industry went "bust! " and boom he lost his income + pension and later died very very poor with kidney failure in the hospital. So guys "who stole my pension " is one of the most powerful books you should read am telling you.

    Can you provide evidence to the claims you make in terms of the border and people smuggling? The more I listen to you the more I’m convinced your opinion is highly biased, you support the rich and say things that would benefit you.

    Most times it amazes me greatly the way I move from an average lifestyle to earning over 63k per month, utter shock is the word. have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.

    "It takes a wise person to know how to make a lot of money, but it takes an even wiser person to know when to stop" Prof R Maynard Oxford 1995
    If you are 75 Robert go out and enjoy yourself. As you already own $$$Millions, what is the point in investing even more. Go out, spend and enjoy yourself, while you can.

    Thank you.

    every $1 you invest today is a little bit of time that you buy back in the future, the more you invest, the more free time you can afford in the future, having time and the freedom to choose what to do are the ultimate investing goals.

    I have read John MacGregor's book I was so shocked at the stories, just couldn't believe it. I would like to thank John for writing the book. I try explaining this to my family but they don't listen. It frustrates because I see the struggle when your on a pension you can't live a vibrant life and you become subservient to money. Robert said a very good quote in Rich Dad Poor Dad, don't let money run you. I see a lot of old people working in retail and customer service jobs, I just don't understand why when you could be enjoying time.Thanks Robert and Kim for your wisdom and brilliant insight into the economy.

  31. Poetic Princee

    I love how honest Robert is!! Could you please talk about using WHOOE life cash value Life insurance as a retirement plan? I’m 23 and I’m about to join the work force making over 70k a year. Is it a good way to start?

    Thats exactly why your good old buddy Donald Trump ran. To pick your pocket. Funny how Robert leaves all that out when he talks about his good old buddy Donald J Trump. Why is that? The most crooked adminastration in history but he has nothing but good things to say about his good old buddy Donald. Maybe because Donald was out in the open that he was a crook or he is just a big hippocrite.

    Our Government judicial system needs to be overhauled. To take down financial criminals.
