Gold IRA

"IRA," in a financial context, stands for "Individual Retirement Account." It's a structure that allows you to put money away for retirement, with the government helping out by offering some tax advantages.

If you want to get the tax benefit of these retirement accounts, but you're also a survivalist who believes the future will resemble a scorched wasteland, where the only ways to acquire goods will be through either gold or violence, then a gold IRA represents a perfect investment for you. It works just like a typical, vanilla IRA...except that it holds actual, physical gold, rather than assets like stocks or bonds.
