Gold Hits $5,000 — Here’s What That Really Means for Your Retirement

Gold 5000 Debt Spiral Feb 2026

From the Desk of Shanon Davis, CEO — American Alternative Assets

I was sitting at my desk this morning, coffee in hand, scrolling through the headlines — and there it was. Gold crossed $5,000 an ounce. First time ever. And you know what? My phone didn’t stop ringing all day.

But here’s the thing most people are missing. This isn’t really a gold story. This is a dollar story. And it’s one that every regular American — especially anyone in or near retirement — needs to understand.

The U.S. national debt just blew past $38.5 trillion. Let that sink in for a second. $38.5 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office says we’re adding another $1.9 trillion this year alone. And the rest of the world? They’ve noticed. The dollar’s share of global reserves just dropped to 56.9% — the lowest ever recorded. Central banks have been buying gold at over 1,000 tonnes a year for three straight years.

I talk to people every single day — folks who worked 30, 40 years, did everything right, saved their money, followed the rules. And now they’re watching their purchasing power quietly disappear. Their grocery bills are up. Their healthcare costs are up. Their fixed income buys less every single month. It’s not that hard to see what’s happening when you look at the numbers.

You know, the big institutions — the central banks, the sovereign wealth funds, the billionaires — they’re all moving to gold. They see the writing on the wall. The question I keep asking people is: why should regular Americans be the last ones to figure this out?

Look, I’m not here to tell you what to do with your money. That’s your decision. But I am here to tell you that the information is out there, and you owe it to yourself to understand what’s happening before it’s too late to act.

We put together a guide called the Debt Death Spiral that breaks down exactly how the national debt is affecting your savings and what options you have. No sales pitch — just the facts.
