If your retirement savings are tied to the US dollar and dollar-backed assets, it may be time to consider your strategy to fortify your wealth with gold.
Because despite Washington’s claims that the economy is strong, the dollar’s dominance (and your life savings that are tied to it) is now under multiple assaults.
Inflation is devouring the buying power of retirement accounts.
Since 2020, the US has printed nearly 80% of all dollars in circulation, flooding the system with cheap money, driving prices for every product, asset, and service through the roof and rapidly eroding the value of all of them at the same time. Every dollar in your savings accounts buys less with each passing day.
America’s debt spiral is beyond control.
The national debt has exploded past $36 trillion, and interest payments alone now exceed the entire defense budget. Washington has no plan to rein it in—only more borrowing, more money printing, and an ever-weaker dollar. The path we are on is unsustainable, and every analyst is stating that we have reached the point of no return. It ends badly, and the only question is whether you will continue tying your savings to a failing currency.
The world is abandoning the US dollar.
BRICS nations—including China and Russia—are hoarding gold at historic levels and cutting America out of key trade deals. The price of gold has increased by 45% in the last 12 months as a result of strategic movements by the world’s central banks away from the dollar. They’re now openly pushing for a gold-backed alternative to the dollar, a move that could accelerate its decline as the world’s reserve currency.
America’s credit rating is slipping.
Global confidence in the dollar is eroding, and Washington’s reckless spending triggered a credit downgrade in 2023. If the debt crisis deepens, more downgrades could follow—dragging the dollar (and everything tied to it) down even further.
All of this chips away at the dollar’s future buying power and the strength of the savings you achieved in your lifetime—making it harder for you to leave behind a strong financial legacy.
Sadly, this isn’t a new problem, and it has only grown worse over time.
Take a look:
Since 1971, when Nixon took the US off the gold standard and the Federal Reserve began flooding the economy with paper dollars backed only by government promises…
The dollar has lost almost all its purchasing power.
And it shows no signs of slowing.
But it may create an exceptional window of opportunity for gold owners.
To put this into perspective:
The dollar has lost over 87% of its purchasing power since 1971.
Meanwhile, in those same years, gold’s price has gained an astonishing 7,300%.
It means anyone who bought $10,000 in gold in 1971 has watched it turn into $740,000 in today’s prices…
And $100,000 in gold acquired back then is now worth a whopping $7,400,000…
Anyone who inherited any of that gold must feel very fortunate.
Now, analysts forecast new highs for gold in 2025 and beyond because…
1) Trade policies are fueling economic uncertainty.
Recent tariffs imposed by the administration have heightened fears of a global trade war, driving investors and central banks around the world to seek safe-haven assets like gold.
2) Pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates is mounting.
President Trump is placing the Fed under growing pressure to lower interest rates, and if history is any guide, they may cave—just as they did during Trump’s first term.
Lower interest rates can weaken the dollar and will make gold even more attractive as an alternative asset.
Now even Wall Street’s smartest minds are in a mad scramble to get their hands on gold.
And if the biggest financial institutions in the world are stockpiling gold at record levels, shouldn’t everyday Americans consider doing the same?
What happens when the currency your entire life savings are denominated in is no longer trusted? How much more can your retirement savings withstand if the dollar weakens even further?
Gold has been the ultimate form of financial security for thousands of years, protecting wealth across generations.
Unlike company shares, bonds, dollars, and other paper assets—where an issuing company, person, or institution could fail to live up to its obligations…
Gold cannot go bankrupt, default on an agreement, or ever fall to zero.
From the first gold coins minted in Lydia in 600 B.C. to the finest gold coins, bullion and bars you can own today… physical gold has always provided value and peace of mind for anyone that owns it.
That’s why adding gold to your 401(k) or retirement account will make you feel more confident about your family’s financial future, knowing the golden legacy you leave behind will be there when they need it most.

May you be safe and well during these uncertain times.
