We just landed at No. 1006 on the 2026 Inc. 5000.
Up 921 spots from No. 1927 last year. Second consecutive year on the list.
Inc. doesn't rank on reputation or marketing spend. It ranks on audited revenue growth. The Americans who trusted us with a retirement decision stayed. They referred people they love. They came back.
That's what No. 1006 reflects. And we don't take it lightly.
The story behind the number π
https://t.co/Pa7x4IoydL
The average Baby Boomer household has a net worth of $1.79 million.
The median β the number that reflects what the typical person actually has β is $432,200.
1 in 5 Americans over 50 has no retirement savings at all.
The wealth is real. It just isn't evenly distributed. And what separates those who retire rich from those who struggle isn't income. It's something else entirely.
Here's what the data actually shows π

4 billion people watched Spain lift the World Cup on Sunday.
For a few seconds, every one of them was looking at the same thing.
Gold.
FIFA could have made the most coveted trophy in sports out of anything. They chose 18-karat solid gold. Not plated. Not painted. Real gold.
There's a reason the greatest prize in the world is made of it. π

The Federal Reserve's president just named his #1 inflation concern.
It wasn't tariffs. It wasn't the Iran war. It wasn't government spending.
It was AI.
Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are spending $720 billion this year β mostly on data centers. That buildout is pushing up electricity prices, chip prices, and laptop prices. And unlike supply chain shocks, it doesn't resolve in a quarter.
Goldman Sachs says it could last a decade.

One cyberattack. One major storm. One regional power outage.
Any of those, hitting a single area of New York, could simultaneously disrupt physical gold and silver delivery for the entire United States.
That's not a hypothetical. That's the current system β and Congress is treating it as a national security problem.
A bipartisan bill just landed to fix it: https://t.co/kk6qu8tAqE
Gold is down from its January peak. Financial media is asking if the bull market is over.
The four forces that drove gold's 65% gain in 2025 are all still intact:
Central banks still buying. Dollar still weakening structurally. Inflation still above target. Geopolitical instability still elevated.
JPMorgan, the World Bank, and Barclays all held their bullish targets through the pullback.
What history says comes next π

A Penn Wharton economist just put a number on America's debt problem.
210%.
That's the debt-to-GDP level at which the U.S. becomes mathematically impossible to sustain. Not politically difficult. Not uncomfortable. Mathematically impossible.
We're at 100% today. His timeline to 210%: 20 years. Possibly 14.
That is a retirement problem. Not a next-generation problem.

Most people think their 401(k) is diversified because it holds an index fund.
Here's what that index fund actually is: a heavy bet on a handful of AI and tech giants trading at historically high valuations.
Those stocks are the most sensitive to rising interest rates. And J.P. Morgan is now projecting a potential rate hike in 2027.

The median retirement savings for Americans age 55 to 64 is $185,000.
Fidelity says you should have six times your salary by 50. For someone earning $75,000, that's $450,000.
Most people are nowhere near that. And retirement doesn't come with a warning period β it arrives on the date you set, ready or not.
Here's how to know exactly where you stand, and what to do if you're behind:

The U.S. national debt just crossed 100% of GDP for the first time since 1946.
Last time we were here, we had just fought World War II on two fronts. This time, there's no war to blame.
Your household's share of that debt: $289,000. Before your mortgage. Before your car payment. Before retirement.
That number doesn't stay in Washington. It follows your savings home.

Ray Dalio just used a word that hasn't been spoken seriously in American economic policy circles for 40 years.
Stagflation.
He called it correctly in 2008. He's not saying this to be dramatic. He's saying it because the Fed is trapped β cutting rates makes inflation worse, holding them kills growth.
And your savings are caught in the middle.
Here's what Dalio recommends doing about it: https://t.co/xs9eDkU0q5
In the past twelve months, the world's biggest investment funds sold $284 billion in U.S. stocks.
Quietly. With almost no coverage.
The #1 thing those same funds bought instead? Gold.
Not AI. Not U.S. tech. Gold β now the single most crowded trade among global institutional investors, according to Bank of America.
What that means for your retirement savings π

Silver went up 165% in twelve months.
Most people missed it entirely.
And the experts who called it β BlackRock, JPMorgan, the Silver Institute β say this run isn't over. The structural demand driving it isn't sentiment. It's solar panels, EVs, and AI infrastructure. Those orders are already placed. Here's what the next 10 years could look like: https://t.co/ujTINy9W7L
France just pulled every last bar of its gold out of American vaults. Not some of it. All of it. For the first time in nearly a century, not a single French gold bar sits in the U.S. β and Germany, Italy, and the rest of Europe are paying very close attention. When nations start bringing their gold home, individual investors should ask why.
