In Episode 1 of The Gold IRA Deep Dive, Tom Sayja lays the foundation: what a Gold IRA really is, how it works, and why so many retirees are quietly shifting into physical gold. Tom explains the difference between holding paper promises and holding real metal, walks through the basic structure of a self-directed IRA, and shares why protection — not profit — is often the real goal. This isn’t financial advice. It’s perspective earned through experience. If you’re starting to feel that shift too, visit tomsayja.net.
