- Robert Kiyosaki predicts a significant S&P 500 downturn, risking millions of American 401ks and IRAs.

- Kiyosaki’s warning about U.S. banking system corruption echoes past accurate predictions, highlighting risks in current financial strategies.
Renowned financial expert and ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ author Robert Kiyosaki has warned about an imminent crash in the S&P 500 index, a move he believes could severely impact millions of American retirement accounts, particularly 401ks and IRAs.
In a recent post on X dated December 11, Kiyosaki emphasized the vulnerability of popular retirement savings vehicles in the United States. He specifically mentioned 401(k) plans, where employers contribute a portion of an employee’s salary to investment options like mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), allowing individual investment decisions.
As these plans are closely linked to stock market performance, particularly the S&P 500, a downturn could devastate these retirement funds.
Kiyosaki’s warnings extend beyond the stock market. In his latest statements, Reuters highlighted his concerns about a “global banking crisis” and labeled the U.S. banking system as corrupt. Drawing from his past predictions, such as the downfall of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and the recent struggles of Credit Suisse in 2023, he now encourages his followers to consider alternative investments like Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
Moreover, Kiyosaki has speculated about future challenges for major global banks. After the near-collapse of Credit Suisse, averted through its acquisition by UBS in March, he suggests, as reported by the Financial Times, that UBS could be the next banking giant to face significant problems.
Despite these warnings, the S&P 500 Index has shown resilience, gaining 19.92% this year and reaching its highest level since March 29, 2022. The market’s performance has been buoyed by less aggressive monetary policies from the Federal Reserve, with expectations of a rate cut in mid-2024. However, Kiyosaki’s predictions serve as a reminder of the market’s inherent unpredictability and the potential risks to retirement funds invested in the stock market.
