| | Contributing to your 401(k) consistently is good financial behavior - but contributing and optimizing are two different things. High fees, heavy company stock concentration, and target-date funds that follow a formula rather than your situation can quietly erode your balance over time.
74% of U.S. millionaires work with a financial advisor - more than double the general population rate. A fiduciary advisor can review your 401(k) for fees, allocation, and alignment with your actual timeline. SmartAsset's free quiz matches nearly 50,000 people each month with vetted fiduciary advisors in their area.  |

On June 9, 2024, a 50-year pact between Washington and Riyadh quietly expired, cracking one of the hidden pillars of the dollar system. Gold is climbing, central banks are buying bullion at a historic pace, and more nations are looking to trade outside the dollar.
Garrett Goggin, CFA, CMT, has spent 31 years tracking these shifts and has flagged moves including G2 Goldfields 1,023%, Reunion Gold 538%, and Newmont 126% before they happened. He has identified four new positions plus two bonus picks for the next leg of the gold rally.  |
