The number of famous Wall Street analysts and economic experts warning about recession has surged dramatically in recent weeks. Much of this concern stems from weakening consumer sentiment and a slowing economy. The US GDP <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/30/gdp-q1-2025-.html">fell </a>0.3% year over year in the March quarter, marking the first quarterly decline since 2022.&nbsp;
Robert Kiyosaki, investor and author of the best-selling book "Rich Dad Poor Dad," said last month that the US may be heading toward a "greater depression" as the economy continues to worsen. Kiyosaki <a href="https://x.com/theRealKiyosaki/status/1913366747010531408">wrote</a> on X that he had predicted this "chaos" and he is "sad" that the financial crisis he predicted is "here."

</ul>
"In 2025 credit card debt is at all-time highs," Kiyosaki said. "US debt is at all-time highs. Unemployment is rising.&nbsp; 401 k's are losing. Pensions are being stolen."
However, Kiyosaki pointed to a silver lining, telling his followers there's an opportunity to emerge from the crisis as a "very rich" person.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘It's Not Too Late'</h2>
Kiyosaki urged his followers to pile into bitcoin, gold and silver if they want to get rich despite the incoming "financial disaster."
"For those who take action today, when the crash crashes, those who invest in just one Bitcoin, or some gold, or silver," he said. "You may come through this crisis a very rich person.&nbsp; It's not too late, if you take action. But if you wait, it may be too late, after the giant crash."

Kiyosaki said he was reiterating his call to invest in precious metals and bitcoin, even as some on X criticized him for repeating the same advice.
The author, who has long <a href="https://www.richdad.com/rich-dad-scams-get-out-of-debt">questioned</a> the belief that debt should be avoided, warned that those who delay or are fearful would be the "biggest losers."
"If a poor person bought a few ounces of gold or silver, or 1/2 of a Bitcoin, I predict they may become the new rich….once this Depression is over," according to Kiyosaki. "I strongly believe, by 2035, that one Bitcoin will be over $1 million dollars. Gold will be $30k and silver $3,000 a coin."

Earlier this month, Kiyosaki <a href="https://x.com/theRealKiyosaki/status/1920823604834427220">claimed</a> on X that poor and middle-class Americans were flocking to Costco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) stores to buy gold bars.
"Costco cannot keep enough gold bars and coins in stock," he said. "It means the poor and middle class have finally got my rich dad's message and are now saving real money by converting fake money…. for real gold."

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

After decades of pinching pennies and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45483330/are-you-rich-or-just-upper-middle-class-heres-the-net-worth-and-income-it-takes-to-be-considered-wealthy">watching that retirement account climb</a>, it can be a strange kind of shock to switch gears and actually spend it.
That's where Kevin, a 65-year-old electrician from Georgia, finds himself—14 months away from retirement with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">$1.7 million nest egg</a>, no debt outside a mortgage, and enough future income to live on $96,000 a year without even touching the principal. And yet, the idea of watching those savings go down? It's driving him nuts.
"I've been a saver all my life," Kevin told Dave Ramsey on an <a href="https://youtu.be/5TNIgmVM6ZQ?si=EoFarcaNXSmShJT_">episode of "The Ramsey Show</a>." "It's just… there's something in my head about seeing those savings going the other direction."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
He's not worried about running out of money. In fact, Kevin said he doesn't think he and his wife will ever need to dip into their investments unless there's a major medical issue. But still—after a lifetime of saving, spending feels wrong.
Ramsey got it. "You spent 66 years building up one muscle—your saving muscle," he said. "What I'm trying to do there is I'm trying to stretch your spending muscle a little bit."
To help loosen that grip, Ramsey gave Kevin a financial assignment: "Put your toe in the water and make yourself, by setting a written goal—you and your wife—that you're going to spend X on fun."
Specifically? "I want you to plan to spend $8,000 on a cruise this year."
Kevin responded, "Wow… I know that's a lot."
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
Ramsey reminded him, "Yeah, I know that's a lot, but you got 1.7 million, dude. I didn't even take the sweat off your interest."
And the spending "fun" didn't stop at tropical getaways. Kevin admitted he's had his eye on a SawStop table saw that runs over $3,000. Ramsey approved. "Perfect. You didn't tell me 300,000—I would've smacked you silly."
The advice was simple: spend with purpose, not recklessly—but spend. Practice enjoying what you've earned.
Ramsey even challenged Kevin to stretch his generosity muscle while he was at it: "Find somebody to give some money to. Generosity goes with spending. They're kissing cousins."
It's a lesson that hits home for plenty of late-career savers. You spend decades saying no, trimming the extras, pushing just a little further—and then one day, you're told it's time to say yes. That shift doesn't come easy. But as Kevin's story shows, learning to enjoy what you've earned isn't reckless. It's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">part of the payoff</a>.

<h3>Blackstone P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Blackstone has a better P/E ratio of 41.49 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 32.05 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that Blackstone Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
