Editor’s NoteTe Times Tey Are A-Changin’Tere have been many changes in our economy and the investinglandscape since Rich Dad Poor Dad was frst published in 1997. Fourteenyears ago, Robert Kiyosaki challenged conventional wisdom with hisbold statement that “your house is not an asset.” His contrarian views onmoney and investing were met with skepticism, criticism, and outrage.In 2002, Robert’s book, Rich Dad’s Prophecy, advised that we prepare foran upcoming fnancial market crash. In 2006, Robert joined forces withDonald Trump to write Why We Want You To Be Rich, a book inspired bytheir concern for the shrinking middle class in America.Robert continues to be a passionate advocate for the importance andpower of fnancial education. Today, in the wake of the subprime fasco,record home foreclosures, and a global economic meltdown that isstill raging, his words seem not only prophetic, but enlightened. Manyskeptics have become believers.In preparing the 2011 edition of Rich Dad’s CASHFLOW Quadrant, Robertrealized two things: that his message and teachings have withstood the testof time, and that the investment landscape, the world in which investorsoperate, has changed dramatically. Tese changes have afected, and willcontinue to afect, those in the I (Investor) quadrant and have fueledRobert’s decision to update an important section in this book—ChapterFive: Te Five Levels of Investors.x
