You need not look for much more evidence than this chart below showing Gold vs Dollar, to see how paper fiat currencies erode your wealth overtime while assets with intrinsic value such as gold and silver do an outstanding job of wealth preservation.

This chart shows how an amount of gold worth $100,000 in 1932 is now worth $4.4 Million today. While $100,000 USD held for the same period of time is now only worth $2,000! The dollar has lost 98% of its value since 1932 and dollar’s value is quickly eroding, even now.

A reader asked for further clarification on this chart. Okay, if you had a $100,000 US dollars in 1932 and stuck it under your mattress, buried it in your backyard, or whatever makes sense to you, and then tried to spend in today’s economy it would not carry you very far. Let’s look at what things cost in 1932 to help put this in real terms.

How Much things cost in 1932
Average Cost of new house $6,510.00
Average wages per year $1,650.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas 10 cents
Average Cost for house rent $18.00 per month
A loaf of Bread 7 cents
New Car Average Price $610.00 src- The People History

How Much things cost in 2009
Average Cost of new house $233,000.00
Average wages per year $39,000.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas $2.50-$3.00
Average Cost for house rent $800.00 per month
A loaf of Bread $2.50
New Car Average Price $28,400+ src- google.com

If you factor in expenses such as energy cost, tuition, medical cost, it’s easy to see that $100,000 today does not buy very much in todays economy, although it would have bought plenty in 1932. For example you could buy 15 new homes in 1932, but today you could not even buy 1! For real inflation stats, check out shadowstats.com

Guide to Investing In Gold and Silver

For all the newbies, Rich Dad’s Advisors: Guide to Investing In Gold and Silver: Protect Your Financial Future is for you.  It is an extremely easy, quick, and fascinating read that will explain to you how to protect your wealth and get positioned for the upcoming dollar destruction. You will be amazed at how much value your money has already lost see my article Gold vs Dollar, What a Knock Out! While there is still time to protect the wealth you have left, I highly urge you to get this book and read it thoroughly.

This was actually the first book I read on investing in gold and silver and is one of my favorite investment books. Being a big fan of the Rich Dad book series in general, I thought I would give it a try.  My only regret is I did not read it sooner!

The author, Mike Maloney does a great  job at walking through interesting historical events of many governments throughout history that started with honest money systems based on gold and silver.  Then due to increasing government corruption, they moved their currencies away from gold & silver to eventually just printing currency!  Which is the point that the United States has come to.  Mike shows you the playbook these earlier governments used and proved to be a disaster for their countries and people by eroding the value of their currencies until they were worth nothing.

The US seems to be running the exact same plays as many of the others and will leave its citizens out to dry when they wake up one morning and find that the US dollar has been devalued by 50-90% overnight like some recent countries or over a few years.  Don’t delay in getting this book. Protect yourself and your love ones now.
