Nothing to see here! Central Banks are buying a lot more gold. Under Bidenistas, nations worldwide are de-dollarizing or planning it. The US days of the dollar as the reserve currency are ending.
The problem is gold is no bargain either.
Additionally, the debt-to-income ratio on FHA loans is 44%. That’s not good.
Here’s a chart of Central Bank gold purchases back to 1950.

We also don’t save any longer, we can’t afford to, and the money blown to help the economy was a disaster. By the way, does anyone know how much gold is in Fort Knox? It hasn’t been audtied in a very long time.
Here is a chart visualizing this data.
The massive spike in 2020 was due to $4 trillion in stimulus which was printed and handed out.
This money quickly disappeared as inflation soared.
Again, there’s no such thing as “free” money.
