Retire In Texas

Inflation is not only eating its way through our wallets.

It’s also having a toll on our psyche and our outlook on the near future.

In times when the stock market is struggling, people flee into gold that promises stability.

One of the best examples of such movement is the lost decade from 2000 to 2010, when people left the stock market in fear, and leaned into gold.

With a looming banking crisis and geopolitical risks around the world, investing more in gold and less in stocks seems to be the solution.

But, is that really the case?

In today’s episode, you’ll discover how you can invest in gold, if the stock market is inferior to the stability of the gold market, and if gold is a quick fix to hedge against inflation.
