Ever since 2020, it feels like things have changed. If we learned anything from the global health crisis, it’s that unexpected things can happen.
Governments and central banks sometimes do things that seem to cause more harm than good–like lockdowns and unprecedented money printing.
We never thought “the powers that be” could go so far. When will they stop the political infighting and focus purely on what’s best for the American people? We know excessive printing and spending negatively affect the value of the U.S. dollar and our retirement accounts.
It’s clear, unexpected things can and will happen...and it’s sometimes not the best for you and me.
As much as we’ve been through, I don’t think we’re done. And I’m not sure anything can fix where we’re at.
The problems are very simple and very clear. This is what we know...
The U.S. dollar continues to buy less.
The U.S. dollar could lose its global standing.
Rising prices are throwing off household budgets.
IRAs and 401(k)s lost almost as much value in 2022 as in the financial crisis, but no one’s talking about it. How did your accounts do?
And now the current administration wants four more years.
My question is, what’s going to happen next?
We can no longer simply work hard, sock away money, watch our IRAs and 401(k)s grow, get a gold watch, and enjoy retirement.
No one knows what’s next. With so many institutions, it’s hard to know who to trust.
Don’t assume someone else will take care of your future for you. Prepare for whatever’s next by taking action.
Unlike practically every other asset…including cash…the value of precious metals is not dependent upon any person to do any job, perform any task, or honor any obligation.
