Page 10 - Inflation -The Killer of Your Retirement Savings

Protect Yourself Against Inflation
If you’ve built up a sizable nest egg, now is the time to start thinking about protecting what you’ve saved and invested. Imagine the feeling of working hard for decades, saving and investing diligently, and seeing all your hard work and effort eaten away by inflation. Imagine the sinking feeling in your gut knowing that 30 or 40 years worth of toil could be undone in just a few years, and through no fault of your own. Imagine taking a look at your retirement savings that you thought were going to last you to the end of your life, and realizing that you may very well run out of money before you die.
More and more investors today are coming to grips with the reality that the economic environment of the next 20-30 years, the time in which they will live in retirement, will look very different from the last 20-30 years. Low economic growth, higher inflation, and reduced purchasing power of their dollars could make retirement far less attractive in the future than it is now. And that’s why more and more investors are taking steps to safeguard their investments, attempting to ensure that their assets will continue to outpace inflation.
One of the ways they do that is by diversifying their assets with gold and silver. Gold and silver have a long history as monetary metals and investment assets, and they have protected the financial well-being of millions of people over the centuries. Today the role they play in protecting investment portfolios can’t
be understated, and their performance over the last several years can’t be overlooked.
These investors know that gold and silver have performed well during crises. They know that gold and silver saw phenomenal growth during the 1970s stagflation. They know that gold and silver outperformed markets during and after the 2008 crisis.18 And they know that there’s a chance that gold and silver will continue to outperform markets during the next crisis.
If you’ve worked hard for decades to give yourself the chance to enjoy a comfortable life in retirement, don’t let your dreams get dashed by high inflation and a weak economy. Start taking steps to protect your hard-earned retirement savings today.
