Financially worried woman

Woman worried gold recession

My cousin says buying gold is the only way to protect your money right now. The economy has me worried, does he have a point?

It has a long history, it feels tangible, and it tends to get attention whenever inflation, recessions, or geopolitical stress are in the news. That’s probably why your friend is so confident about it right now. But “the only way” to protect your money is a much bigger claim than the evidence supports.
