The truth is if you have $50,000 or more saved for retirement… One single Black Swan Event could wipe out years of hard work and sacrifice. It could be a stock market downturn or more inflation, you never know when you could fall prey to some form of financial shock. That’s why you must take the necessary steps to protect and diversify your retirement savings now before any misfortune potentially strikes in the future. Here's a critical Retirement Defense Checklist that could potentially help you cover your bases! Check the following 9 points off your list to ensure you’re prepared for a successful retirement… [check-mark] Make sure your money is diversified. If you don’t hold non-correlated assets - assets that don’t move in the same direction - you may not be as diversified as you once thought. One of the most popular assets with low correlation to stocks and bonds is precious metals like gold and silver. [check-mark] Prepare for a 50% stock market drop like in 2008. Most people don’t want to think about the market dropping like it did in the Great Recession, but it could happen again, and if you’re retired when it does, that could have grave financial consequences. [check-mark] Shield your savings from additional bank failures. Last year, we witnessed major bank failures that spooked the world. Could it happen again in 2024? Some are claiming it’s inevitable with bank exposure to commercial real estate posing a significant threat to many banks. [check-mark] Prepare for tax rates on your 401K or IRA to skyrocket. It’s already clear that Biden wants to raise $4.7 trillion in new taxes that could potentially crush our economy, not to mention your pocketbook. If he’s able to win the 2024 election, there’s a potential $6 trillion tax gap that could come to fruition. [check-mark] Prepare for the potential devaluation of the U.S. dollar. Many Americans aren’t aware of what our government has done to the U.S. dollar. Since 1913, when the Federal Reserve was created, the U.S. dollar has lost 97% of its value. Since 1971, when the gold standard was suspended completely, the dollar has lost a whopping 87%! It only makes sense to believe this will continue. [check-mark] Understand the consequences of the U.S. dollar losing its reserve currency status. It has been reported that Russia and Iran are officially ditching the U.S. dollar and trading in their local currencies. Russia has said it will not be accepting the U.S. dollar for trade but instead will use Chinese and Emirati currencies. This could be very bad news for the dollar’s reserve currency status, and could potentially spread to other countries and spark the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar. [check-mark] Protect your money from a growing national debt. We are now over $34 trillion in debt. That’s over $264,000 per taxpayer. If that doesn’t sound sustainable to you, you’re not alone. And with higher interest rates, this debt now costs us around a trillion dollars a year to finance. The consequences of this could be a devastating debt spiral. [check-mark] Have exposure to inflation hedges like gold and silver. Inflation steals your purchasing power, puts our financial markets at risk, and has been considered a “hidden tax on the working Americans.” Although they claim inflation is cooling, the cost of goods and services could still rise dramatically, making sure your savings go far less than you thought they would. That’s why it’s critical you consider inflation hedges that could defend your savings. One of the best hedges are precious metals like gold and silver.
