Gold can offer stability in unpredictable markets
With economic uncertainty rising — and gold prices surging — many Americans are rethinking how they protect their wealth. Gold has long served as a hedge during market volatility, often holding its value when traditional assets falter. In fact, during the 2008 financial crisis, gold rose 47% while global stocks fell nearly the same amount. That’s why some investors use it to balance risk in their retirement portfolios.
Is it time for you to get in on the action? We’ve rounded up the top gold IRA providers so you can find out!

A HUGE vet bill can do more than break your heart
It can break your budget. Some veterinary procedures can cost as much as $10,000 — an unexpected hit that can disrupt even the most carefully planned finances. As much as you love your pet, covering those costs out of pocket can be tough. That’s why pet insurance makes sense. The right policy can help cover eligible accidents and illnesses, with some providers reimbursing up to 90% of covered expenses. It’s peace of mind for your wallet — and care you can count on for your pet.
