You're better off buying gold stocks than physical
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.

Just started my rollover process last month. The paperwork alone almost made me quit lol.

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

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

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.

Genuinely curious — has anyone here actually tried to liquidate from their gold IRA? How smooth was that process?
