Dollar vs. Gold: Why You Don’t Need To Panic & #1 Retirement Fear (and Ways To Let It Go)
While recent headlines might suggest the dollar is "plunging" as gold and silver prices soar, Wes Moss provides a grounded perspective on why the decline, while significant, is still well within historical ranges, and why he believes our economy is still strong. Also, Wes dives into the top fear facing Americans: the fear of running out of money in retirement. As humans, we are wired to prioritize protection and survival, but letting this fear dictate your financial strategy can be counterproductive. Wes breaks down the research behind this common anxiety and introduces five actionable steps designed to eliminate financial dread and help you regain confidence in your long-term plan.
