As cases continue to grow exponentially, the number of known global cases of COVID-19 passed 100,000 over the weekend. Just days ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported 105,586 confirmed cases across more than 100 countries and territories, and although the outbreak has been slowing in China, where it originated, the country still accounts for almost 80% of confirmed cases. Additionally, on Monday, March 9, the Dow Jones industrial average declined 2,014 points, or 7.8%, its biggest single-day loss since October 2008. While the total number of cases affecting individuals worldwide has yet to be known, there is much each of us can do to avoid becoming a victim ourselves. One thing is for sure, only you can protect yourself.  In this episode, experts Chris Martenson, PhD and Dr. Nicole Srednicki joined Robert Kiyosaki to give you solutions for protecting both your health and wealth!

Part two of the 5 Pension Time Bombs series dives deep into how the fifty percent of Americans relying on a pension (DC or DB) are at risk of losing their wealth due to the gross mismanagement of their funds.  Those that are looting the pensions of public-school teachers, firefighters, police, as well as private-sector workers, can be found on Wall Street. The Wall Street casinos are charging high fees for gambling in risky hedge funds and other speculative investments, outrageous investment-industry conflicts of interest, and outright violations of the law. According to Ted Siedle, a former attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and America’s leading expert in pension looting, “In the decades to come, we will witness hundreds of millions of elders worldwide, including America’s Baby Boomers, slipping into poverty. Too frail to work, too poor to retire will become the “new normal” for many of the aged.” One thing is certain: Doing nothing―sitting back, confident your pension check is “in the mail” ―is not an option. It’s a risk you can’t afford to take. Listen as Robert and Kim are joined by Ted Siedle and Andy Tanner to discuss the massive crisis about to come crashing down on millions of Americans, but more importantly, what you can do about it.

There’s a question that I like to ask people, and I want you to think about your answer for a minute. “What would you do if I paid you five million dollars per year?” Would you quit your job? Would you work more? How far would you be willing to go to get that money? If you’re former NFL player Vontae Davis, a five-million-a-year paycheck wasn’t enough to keep working. Not only did he get out of playing football, but he walked off the field in the middle of the game. Why? Because of his health. He knew that continuing to play would put himself in danger and that if he didn’t leave now, he could regret it for the rest of his life. Most people, I think, wouldn’t throw away that kind of money, even if they were in that situation. We only have to look at other football stars that continue to play to see how true that is. In this episode, we talk with Vontae about his decision to walk away from guaranteed millions and how that has impacted his life. Fortunately, he was already smart about his money beforehand, and he wasn’t living a lifestyle beyond his means. Vontae’s story can shed some light on the nature of money and what it takes to walk away from a seven-figure payday. If you’re experiencing a similar crossroads in your life, it’s worth it to make a change for the better. Listen now and see where Vontae’s decision led him.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We are in the early stages of the greatest retirement crisis in the history of our nation and, indeed, the entire world. One thing is certain: doing nothing―sitting back, confident your pension check is “in the mail”―is not an option. That’s a risk you can’t afford to take. According to Edward "Ted" Siedle, a former attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and America’s leading expert in pension looting, “In the decades to come, we will witness hundreds of millions of elders worldwide, including America’s Baby Boomers, slipping into poverty. Too frail to work, too poor to retire will become the “new normal” for many of the aged.” In their book "Who Stole My Pension?", the authors focus on the most misunderstood and ignored cause of the pension crisis: mismanagement of pensions and investments. Robert and Ted recount a history of pension failures, inexperienced boards, gambling, looting, and other horror stories―with a focus on action steps workers and retirees can take to quickly determine if a pension is being mismanaged as well as the concrete steps they can take to end decades of pension mismanagement. They detail critical questions retirees can ask―and guidance regarding how to act on what they learn. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For the last couple of years, if you heard the word collusion, chances are that you would imagine Russia helping the Trump administration win the 2016 election. While the world was focused on that, real collusion was happening between the Fed and world banks to create an economic crisis. This all started long before Trump took office, and the ramifications of it helped create the Great Recession, and we’re all still reeling from it. In today’s episode, we’re talking with Nomi Prins, author of the book Collusion. As a Wall Street insider, Nomi got a firsthand look at how the US and the Fed created a massive financial problem, both at home and abroad. We discuss the truth behind how world banks are facilitating this crisis and what average Americans can do to protect their money. If you want to find out what’s really going on behind the curtain, you need to listen to this episode.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

At the beginning of a new year, everyone starts paying attention to their taxes. However, rather than looking ahead at their tax burden for the coming 12 months, the vast majority of people and business owners are looking at the previous year. Unfortunately, when it comes to saving money on taxes, taking that kind of approach is not going to do any good. Simply put, you can’t reduce your tax bill after the fact. In this episode, we’re talking with Tom Wheelwright, a professional tax advisor. If you’re anything like me, you hate giving any money to the government. It may sound surprising, but I don’t pay taxes. At first, you may think that I must be cheating or cooking my books, but the fact is that there are legitimate ways to reduce your tax bill to nothing or almost nothing. Tom and I discuss various ways to find these incentives that the government offers to businesses and entrepreneurs. That is, assuming that you want to pay less or nothing at all. Break the tax cycle and discover how in this episode of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
