Wall Street’s ups and downs are scary, but the stock market is still an excellent way to build long-term wealth. However, it’s not the only way.
Diversification is essential to wealth-building. Your money master plan should not be a single source, set-it-and-forget-it procedure.
Wise use of the market is a good idea. But so is investing in non-stock opportunities. Here are several ways to plump up your portfolio.
Precious metals are increasingly attractive to investors, and for good reason. They’re not just bright, shiny objects: Gold and silver are essential to the manufacture of modern electronics. That’s why the wealthy invest in precious metals, and so can you. Goldco is ready to assist, with up to $10,000 in free silver for qualified accounts — and free shipping.
How’s that for building wealth? Getting thousands in free silver right up front! No wonder Goldco is the only precious metals company recommended by Fox News personality Sean Hannity.
Gold has been the benchmark for value for thousands and thousands of years. Ever since humankind learned to mine and melt this enduring metal, we’ve been trading for it. The expression “the gold standard” is still true today.
You can purchase gold or silver as part of an investment portfolio, but have you ever considered making it part of your retirement planning? Goldco can help you set up a gold IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement accounts, created strictly in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines.
If your circumstances change, and you want to move some of your precious metals, Goldco guarantees the highest price with its buy-back program. This is one of the reasons that Goldco received 5-star ratings with Trustpilot, Trustlink, Google Reviews and ConsumerAffairs.com, an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a AAA rating from the Business Consumers Alliance.

Sometimes you get dragged into debt by forces beyond your control. Case in point: the pandemic. A recent study indicated that 46% of Gen Zers burned through their savings, and more than half stopped paying their credit card bills.
Stuff happens. And sometimes your debt just isn’t repayable. But with help from a company like National Debt Relief, you can address the obligation head-on.
The company exists to help people get back on their feet after debt has dragged them down. One possible solution is debt consolidation, which means putting your total debts into a single loan, with a single monthly payment.
If you were only making minimum payments on your maxed-out plastic, it could take 10 years or more to become debt-free. However, with National Debt Relief, you’ll get out of debt within 24-48 months, according to the site.
The company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. It doesn’t cost a dime to sign up or to cancel with National Debt Relief, and you’ll be charged a settlement fee only if you accept the deal. If they can’t settle your debt, then you owe them zip.

That’s right. Masterworks, a fine art investing platform, has outperformed the S&P 500 by returning 14% for the past 15 years.
Sometimes the appreciation rate is downright startling. For example, Basquiat paintings. One painting by neo-Expressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat that cost $20,900 in the 1980s sold for $110,487,500 in 2017. That’s a 5,286% increase in just a few decades!
With Masterworks, you’re buying fine art, one small slice at a time. “Slices” are something like stocks. With a stock, you’re buying a little piece of a company. With Masterworks, you’re buying pieces of multimillion-dollar paintings.
Typically, Masterworks will hold an art piece for three to seven years. If your circumstances change, it’s possible to sell your shares on a secondary market. You can also buy shares from other Masterworks investors. (At the moment, this applies only to U.S. investors with U.S. bank accounts.)
