With so much economic and political uncertainty in the United States, consumers continue to wonder if their money is safe in the bank. Faced with this fear which seems to be increasing day by day, many people are investing in alternative assets, such as gold.
Dave Ramsey – in the Dave Ramsey way – provided simple feedback on his thoughts on the failure of the American banking system.
« People are buying gold; the banks are going to fail, » he shouted. “It’s like they live in the Wild Wild West or something.”
Don’t miss:
What Ramsey means is that the United States government is designed to effectively handle any situation that comes its way.
“You don’t know how FDIC insurance works,” Ramsey asked. “It would take the entire federal government to fail for you not to take your money out of your bank when you have less than $250,000.”
Yes, it’s true that there is FDIC insurance to protect your money. But does that mean you shouldn’t invest in alternative assets, like gold?
While Ramsey highlights the strength of FDIC insurance, the growing trend to invest in gold speaks to a broader sentiment of seeking tangible security in times of uncertainty.
Tendency :

Are you rich? Here’s what Americans think it takes to be considered rich.
-
For many first-time buyers, a house represents around 3 to 5 times your annual household income – Are you earning enough?
People turning to gold, historically seen as a safe haven in times of economic crisis, reflect a deep-rooted concern about the stability of traditional banking systems. This change suggests that despite the safeguards in place, trust in these systems is decreasing, prompting individuals to explore other means of protecting their wealth.
So the question remains: is diversifying into assets like gold an overreaction or a prudent strategy in today’s volatile economic landscape?
It’s safe to say that Ramsey considers this an overreaction.
“Everything on the Internet is true,” he joked about the rush of people leaving traditional banks to invest in gold. “Abraham Lincoln said that.”
