Kiyosaki Warns Millions of Boomers Could Be Homeless in 2026

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, posted on X on May 5 that he expects “millions of boomers” to be out of work and facing homelessness in 2026. He urged readers to study retirement planning and to consider certain assets as protections against financial stress.

Kiyosaki traced his concern back decades, writing that he first saw the potential retirement problem in 1974. He directed followers to two of his books aimed at retirement planning: Retire Young, Retire Rich and Who Stole My Pension? How You Can Stop the Looting. He wrote that some readers who followed his earlier advice had improved their financial positions.

In the post, Kiyosaki linked the retirement risk to long-term economic pressures he has raised before, including rising debt, persistent inflation and what he calls an “Everything Bubble” that could cause a severe market breakdown and strain retirement savings.

Kiyosaki recommended specific stores of value as defensive holdings. “For years, I have recommended real gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum as your foundation for your financial future,” he wrote, and he advised followers to use education and planning to prepare for a difficult economy.

The post included a direct warning: “In 2026, millions of boomers will be out of work in trouble financially… many homeless.” He added that the brain is a person’s “best God-given asset” and encouraged people to study retirement preparedness before choosing assets.

Kiyosaki has previously tied 1974 shifts to 2026 risks and published price forecasts for bitcoin tied to his outlook on market turmoil. He has predicted bitcoin could reach $250,000 in 2026 and $1 million by 2035 following a major financial crash, and earlier forecasts included a projection of $750,000 within a year after a severe market collapse.

The May 5 post reiterated themes Kiyosaki has emphasized for years: prepare for pressure on traditional retirement systems, focus on financial education, and consider alternative assets he views as stores of value.
