    In this video I provide a full breakdown on what asset has performed better since 1987 - gold or housing! I show specific levels of returns on the value of gold vs. median housing prices each year since 1987 up to today with plenty of interesting data that anyone looking to protect their wealth will certainly be interested in seeing.
    I also answer a viewer question on the topic of what happens to retirement plans when the financial system collapses as a result of hyperinflation.
    Be sure to watch to the very end because it is full of useful information.
    None of this advice - I am not a financial advisor - this is educational material!

    So I guess I got it right, bought gold/silver in 1994, held on to it until 2009 where I sold half of it to put 50% down on a townhouse that was foreclosed on. It was $230K and I got it for $159K. It had gone down 40% while my precious metals had gone up approximately 3x since I bought them. It only took 15 years to pay off the mortgage as the payments were so low. It is nice being in retirement with a mortgage free home, right now are taxes are low and we are still able to put 1K/month into investments. You and Jaspreet Singh give the best levelheaded opinions on UA-cam without hype. Thanks for all you do to keep US informed. In my case people are paying higher rents for apartments than I pay in taxes and HOA fees, 1/3 less. It is costing me $650/month for my taxes, insurance and HOA total.

      Very well done, Mark. Kudos to you on this. 👍
      We paid off our home in 2014 because the market was falling and our investments were not throwing off the amount of cash that it had been doing. Paying off the 7% mortgage
      at that point was a good move to make, as it is liberating to not have that big house payment to make every month. Still have property taxes and maintenance to pay for, of course,
      but that's a much lighter load.

    The number of ounces of gold needed to buy the median home since the 1920s has varied from about ~50 to ~800. In other words, compared to today’s value of ~200 oz, it has varied from 4x less to 4x more. So if you are trying to decide which is better to buy right now, unfortunately it’s not especially clear. About the only thing we know for sure is the dollar depreciates faster than both! Get gold for the liquidity, or real estate for the income.

    Thanks for the analysis. One thing I didn’t hear mentioned is that if you had elected to purchase the gold instead of the house you would still have to pay rent instead of a mortgage which would tilt the choice more towards the house in my opinion. If it was a second home then I could see your analysis working but I’m looking at it like a primary residence.

    Excellent session. Real estate for investment vs. as a home is very different. Preparing for retirement has several objectives, like shedding stairs, pool, unused space, simplification, etc. Rental properties can be a good source of consistent income - until the .gov says tenants don’t need to pay rent and can’t be evicted (I.e. Covid lockdown).
    Question: Should retirement property be owned outright, if needed paid for with PMs, or hold the PMs carrying a 3% mortgage? (Personally, I hate the idea of paying interest to a bank, but thinking gold is very undervalued right now.)

    I love your depth on the specific topics you choose. I also love how you weed through and avoid the unnecessary jargon some YT'ers infuse.
    However, I'm curious why you chose 1987 as your starting point. Why not choose Jan 2, 1975, when Americans could start buying physical gold coins or bullion?
    Also, I have another question. How common is it for gold to move inversely with RE? Do they generally move in the same direction or opposite? Is there any correlation to their direction?
    Thx BGM

  • @LivingInColumbus

    Bald Guy, question: where did people live during all those years ? In their paid off home OR did they pay rent? If they lived in their paid off home, they could’ve used the monthly rent they would need to pay (without a home) to invest monthly in precious metals. It seems financial people always leave out this “benefit” of homeownership. Where are you going to live? The home has more value than just pure appreciation. Don’t forget the monthly benefit of the cost of housing savings.

      Hi. This is just an exercise comparing the appreciation in the value of a home vs gold. This doesn’t mean don’t buy a home - as I stated in the video - the majority of my net worth is in real estate. I own many rental units and believe it is the best way to achieve financial freedom as it worked for me.

    Interesting video with heavy duty financial data support. That said, one cannot live in one's stack... unless it is HUGE! lol
    When I was planning my retirement in the early 1980s, I never added SS benefits to my plan. Every bit of money that comes back to me in retirement from SS benefits is basically
    "found money". This gives us a considerable "cushion" in terms of retirement resources that some may not have. I retired comfortably at age 55 in 2004 and have lived on the cash
    that my 401K roll-over to an IRA throws off annually. Added to this, is that I took SS benefits at age 62, even though I did not need the money at the time. Instead, I used most of it
    to grow my stack of gold and silver and I am sure that this will benefit us more in the long term than leaving those benefits in the hands of a spendthrift government that is unable
    to draft a budget and unwilling to live within its means.

    There are any number of factors that go hand in hand with owning a home which would make this comparison far more complicated. The premise is sound, though. I've owned properties in my life and it can be both frustrating and rewarding. I think some folks in the comments are taking this a bit too literally. Nowhere in this did you say you could live inside a pile of your gold, nor did you say that owning a home is a bad thing. I think it's good to have an honest look at what asset has a better return and take that into consideration when buying a home. Thanks!

    Buying real estate as an investment has many advantages as opposed to gold. Capital appreciation, tax advantages, and income in the form of rents.

Is supply becoming more dependent upon refiners melting coins and bars? but these are relatively small in the overall supply of physical silver, and so the question is.. Is silver becoming really, really scarce ?

I wouldn't say gold is manipulated as people will make trades that seem advantages to them. Gold vs. Homes is in a dead heat to where it was 50 years ago. Could silver be a better barometer since the peg was not as tight.

    I have two large houses on waterfront property and I’m looking for a third. That being said they’re massive money pits and require a lot of attention. I have yet to see any profit from real estate because I buy and hold. Property is family wealth in my eyes so I’m ignorant as to investing or flipping. Gold however is an option when other options don’t look as good. Gold is for that “what if” scenario you hope never comes.

      So the idea is you give them gold and they pay you interest in gold - great! But when I asked them about getting back exactly what I gave them - for example if I give 5 American Eagles, are they obligated to give me back 5 Eagles or just 5 ounces of gold (for example Pamp Suisse bars)? - they wouldn't give me a straight answer. In a market where premiums vary significantly between products I just didn't feel confident. As a result I opted not to cooperate with them on my channel.

    This comparison is extremely flawed. Not many people purchase a house using 100% cash, and hence there is leverage. Most people buy (physical) gold using 100% cash (no leverage).
    You should be using the typical down payment of 20% and measuring the value of house increase as a percentage of the down payment instead. There, you will see that gold lags way behind properties as an investment.
    Don't get me wrong - I have both, and they serve a different purpose for me. But this comparison is simply misleading.
