Gold!

It’s true: now is the time to start planning for your future. Uncle Sam has enough problems to worry about your retirement. The Baby Boomer generation is collecting funds now, and they will bankrupt Social Security. So, what does this mean for you? Simple: unless you are collecting RIGHT NOW, you had better CYA and put your money into something that has lasted throughout the course of time as a recognized commodity across international borders and in every culture: GOLD. It’s great that your employer is matching your retirement contributions to your IRA, keep doing that. But remember when the stock market went bust? How much of your hard-earned retirement money did you lose? $10k? $100k? More? Or were you one of the lucky few who uh… didn’t save anything for retirement?

The math is pretty simple. Companies are cutting budget and flushing out older workers to replace them with young, cheap labor. Age discrimination is alive today and there’s not a whole lot you can do about it. So, be smart. Expect the worst and plan for it. Invest in GOLD now and in 10 years you’ll be thankful that you put your money into something of real value.
