Gold at $2,500+ is too expensive to buy now
Look, I'm going to say what everyone's thinking but afraid to say: Gold IRAs are boomer advice that doesn't apply to millennials.
I'm 32. I have 30+ years until retirement. Why would I lock up money in gold that historically returns 8% when I could be in index funds returning 10-12%?
The math doesn't add up. Gold is for people scared of their own shadow, not for young investors with time horizons.
Change my mind.

Ngl I came here expecting the usual affiliate spam but the discussions are actually decent. Way better info than what I was getting from my old advisor.

I keep going back and forth between gold and silver allocations. The gold-to-silver ratio right now is making silver look attractive.

I was pretty skeptical about another gold IRA forum but the tools here on GIRAB actually surprised me β the calculator alone saved me hours of spreadsheet work.

Interesting take. I've heard the opposite from a few people though β would love to see some actual numbers on this.
