If you have come to the internet looking for a Retirement Gold plan then I am guessing you are equally worried about the state of the economy as I am at the moment. I hate seeing the world that I have grown up in all these years get to be in this situation with a global recession and the fear of the dollar collapsing. I finally decided I had had enough and I could not wait any longer before I invested my money in gold because if I had kept on putting it off and all of a sudden I woke up one day to find the dollar had actually crashed and I had lost all of my money I would have not been able to live with myself. I chose to invest 40% of my money in Gold, 40% in Silver and the remainder 20% I have kept in dollars. Hopefully it will never come to the dollar crashing and people losing everything but I was not prepared to take the risk.
