If your retirement money is tied up in an IRA or a 401(k) and exposed to the ups and downs of the U.S. stock market, your retirement savings may be more vulnerable than you think.

With growing debt, inflation, and political uncertainty, relying solely on Wall Street is becoming an increasingly risky strategy.

That’s why I brought in Matt Calhoun from Equity Trust for a timely discussion on how to regain control with a self-directed IRA.

In this episode, we cover how to use it to invest in foreign real estate and other real assets that can help protect and diversify your portfolio for the long term.
