Here’s why workplace life insurance might not be enough

Unexpected events shouldn't leave your loved ones financially exposed. And while employer coverage is a nice perk, it usually only offers 2x your salary – far below the recommended 10-15x for real security (especially with dependents). Term life insurance can bridge the gap with customizable, affordable plans. Money’s Best Life Insurance list can help you find coverage starting at just $7/month, providing the peace of mind your family deserves.

The Hidden Risk in Your Bank Account: How Bail-Ins Threaten Your Savings

Most Americans don’t realize that their bank has the legal authority to seize their deposits in times of financial distress. This process, known as a bank bail-in, allows institutions to use customer funds to cover their own losses—without requiring permission.

Key facts:

  • Unlike government bailouts, bail-ins shift the burden to depositors instead of taxpayers.

  • Global banking regulations now permit this practice, and the U.S. is following Europe’s lead.

  • Even the FDIC has acknowledged the risk of public panic if people fully understood these policies.

To protect your wealth, consider diversifying into physical precious metals. A Gold IRA allows you to hold gold and silver in a tax-advantaged account, shielding your savings from potential bail-ins before the next crisis strikes.
