Gold has long symbolized wealth, security, and stability, but what does it represent today?

In this episode of Up Your Average, Keith uses a simple Hershey bar to reveal a complex truth: your dollars are worth less every year, and gold has a story to tell about why. From Roosevelt’s 1933 gold ban to Nixon’s 1971 shift to fiat currency, this episode unpacks the history of gold in America and what it means for investors in 2025.

You’ll discover why gold went from $20 an ounce to over $4,000, what caused those massive swings, and why some investors cling to it while others avoid it. Keith breaks down the pros and cons of owning physical gold, including taxes, storage, and liquidity, and explains when gold may or may not belong in a smart portfolio.

If you’ve ever wondered whether gold is a hedge, a hold, or a headache, this is your clear, fact-driven guide.
