And I think when you look at The idea of the dollar itself, the return is so low in the bank also relative to what you can make out there. This year, gold is up 27%. The banks are paying 4% in the bank right now. They're only paying that 4% right now because they know that there's so many other investments out there that yields a much higher return.

And so with inflation being something that everybody is talking about, everyone's talking about the price of energy and the price of food and all of these things have gone up. They've skyrocketed over the last few years. People also are saying, I can't make 4% in the bank. And I think the returns of the banks in the US are going to continue to go down.

I would not be surprised if we see 3% savings returns by next year and even lower. So the other idea, too, is I just can't leave money in the bank because I need to keep up with my quality of life. And I think that's the thing about gold.

If you go back over time, if you go back the last 150 years, gold has been able to keep up with inflation and the cost of living in a way that most other items have not. And that is also the big idea with investing for retirement is you want that same quality of life in retirement that you have while you're working.

And that is also the big idea with investing for retirement is you want that same quality of life in retirement that you have while you're working.

That's why you're working so hard is you wanna be able to have the things in retirement. And yes, you may have to downsize your living to afford to live as long as you may live. With that being said, the idea is you want items that are gonna keep up with the cost, the increasing costs of everything that's going up out there.

And so that's another reason why a lot of people, if they were hitting very heavy in cash, they've been looking at gold and silver as another way because they need to make better returns. And obviously nobody has a crystal ball of where things will go. But typically during heavy inflationary periods, gold has performed very well.

You can see the late 70s, early 80s is a perfect example when inflation was in the 14 to 16% range and gold was keeping up with that and outperforming those numbers.

That's another reason that a lot of people are diversifying. And that's a big part of my philosophy, Vince, is keeping your options open in terms of investment and also being willing to learn about different investments. That's the thing that will really separate people today and for the next 20, 30 years is not being stuck on some of the old ideas.

If you look at the S&P 500, if you go back 20, 30, 40 years ago, many of those companies are no longer in business. So the idea that you should just stay into one stock or stay into one area in terms of investment forever is really not a smart strategy. The idea is being diversified in different investments so that you're protected.

And I'll tell you, a lot of my clients that I had when I was in commercial real estate Many of them bought gold and silver from me. And I had conversations with them over the last few years that said that they were so happy that they diversified out of real estate because real estate has been so difficult over the last few years. And I don't think it's gonna get
