1) What prompted me to choose this book?
As I continue developing a life rooted in real freedom — financially, mentally, and spiritually — I knew I needed to study the systems that enslave most people unknowingly.
FAKE by Robert Kiyosaki attracted me because it promised to expose the illusions most people live under when it comes to money, education, and investments. I chose this book because real sovereignty requires real knowledge — not blind trust in outdated institutions or mass narratives. If I’m going to build and teach true freedom through the Ministry, I must see through the illusions and help others do the same.
2) What did I learn from reading this book?
One of the most powerful lessons from FAKE is that most of what society teaches about money, success, and security is false — designed to keep people dependent and powerless.
Key lessons that stood out:
Fake money:
The U.S. dollar (and all fiat currency) is no longer backed by real assets like gold.
Governments print endless money, devaluing savings and stealing purchasing power through inflation.
Real wealth comes from owning assets that survive inflation — not holding onto cash.
Fake teachers:
Traditional education systems don’t teach financial intelligence.
Most teachers teach theories and outdated ideas without ever having real-world success themselves.
Self-education and mentors with real-world experience are critical.
Fake assets:
Many “investments” people are sold — like mutual funds, 401(k)s, and savings accounts — are fake assets because they benefit Wall Street more than the individual.
Real assets are things you control that produce cash flow — like businesses, real estate, commodities, or cash-flowing investments.
Trust yourself and your own intelligence.
Kiyosaki emphasizes building your own financial education, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial spirit — not relying on government safety nets or corporate promises.
Another powerful idea:
In times of crisis, fake systems collapse — but those who own real assets and real knowledge thrive.
3) How will reading this book contribute to my success?
FAKE gives me a clear, unfiltered framework for how to build real wealth, freedom, and resilience:
In personal finance, I will continue focusing on acquiring real assets — not saving cash in a broken system — and protecting my wealth from inflation and economic manipulation.
In entrepreneurship and digital asset building, I will stay focused on ownership, cash flow, and sovereignty, not just traditional “safe paths” that lead to dependency.
In the Ministry, I will teach others to see through illusions, question everything, and build their futures on real knowledge and real assets.
In personal leadership, I will take full responsibility for my education, decisions, and financial future — trusting no one else more than my own research and judgment.
This book reminds me that true freedom demands independent thinking, real education, and the courage to act outside of broken systems.
