Instead of only tracking your net worth and budgeting habits, Mint will now start giving targeted financial suggestions and recommendations based on the financial information it gathers from you on a daily basis.

The Financial Advice From Robert Kiyosaki During Economic Recession

Maybe you can figure out what Kiyosaki is trying to say in this article about bad financial advice
Basically, he bashes traditional financial advice, which tells us to ride out the waves of the stock market and continue investing in tax-deferred retirement accounts and mutual funds with strong track records. He starts talking about how investing in real estate made him wealthy, and he depends on his businesses and investments to live. But, then he goes on to say that his advice isn’t for everyone and it’s not for those who work for commission and a paycheck. And he says that he’s not recommending gold, silve, and real estate as good investments right now.
