How to Inflation-Proof Your Retirement - By: Tilly Schneeberger

For the past thirty years, Americans have been told by their government officials and leaders that they are experiencing merely “moderate inflation”. The interesting question is this:
What has been, and continues to be, the effect of this “moderate inflation” on individual retirement savings?
A proper analysis of the past thirty years of inflation must begin thirty years ago. We will use as our benchmark a popular government security, a United States thirty-year maturity treasury bond. These bonds have been considered to be an extremely safe and nearly risk-free dollar investment. But are they really as safe an investment as the government would have you believe?
In April of 1981, an investor purchased a thirty-year bond for $100,000. It has now come to maturity. The United States Treasury dutifully repays the principal of $49,617. Wait just a minute, you say. The government owes $100,000!
Of course, the government will pay the investor $100,000. However, that $100,000, after thirty years of “moderate inflation”, has retained the purchasing power equal to a mere $49,617. Thus, with a completely straight face, the U.S. government repays its investors only half the value of their original investment.
This example clearly shows that the average citizen loses much, even with “moderate inflation”; yet, the government issuing the debt makes out quite nicely.
However, the good news is that you can now protect your assets from inflation by using Swiss annuities and other retirement solutions. There are many companies out there, one of them being Gonthier Group SA, which provides a comprehensive range of services regarding Swiss annuities and retirement solutions. By investing in the stability of the Swiss Franc and Swiss annuities, you will no longer have to worry about U.S. inflation.
The Swiss Franc is a very stable currency with a long record of success. When compared to the United States Dollar, it very much proved to be superior over the span of 20 plus years. You can even roll over your IRA (IRA rollover) into a Swiss annuity fund which will function very similarly to an IRA. If you contact one of those companies, you can not only download multiple PDF brochures explaining how Swiss annuities and IRA rollovers work, but also request a free proposal and assessment of your own personal inflation protection needs. We wish you the best of luck in protecting your retirement income.
