Confidence in the Dollar is Lower than Ever, Notes Newly-Released Nationwide Survey

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold IRA Guide, a website that offers invaluable and helpful information for both gold and silver investors, recently conducted a survey that asked people if they have confidence in the dollar. As the Google Consumer Survey of over 4,600 people ages 55 and up found, as a whole, the majority of participants expressed serious doubt in the strength of the United States dollar.

The results of the survey, which collected answers from visitors within the Google Publisher Network between September 2nd and September 15th, 2014, indicated that 68 percent of respondents answered "Not Confident! Things need to change" when asked how confident they are when it comes to the future of the dollar.

In general, retirees and high income earners were the least likely to express confidence in the dollar; specifically, more than 70 percent of the 1,900-plus participants who are 65 or older selected the "not confident" reply. In addition, 76 percent of those who make $150,000 or more per year answered in the same way.

"What we can gather from the above data is that individuals who have amassed more wealth and financial experience tend to lean towards the opinion that the dollar is headed downhill," noted a spokesperson for Gold IRA Guide.

Interestingly, the survey also found gender-based differences in dollar confidence. While 64 percent of the male respondents replied that things need to change in regard to United States currency, just over 73 percent of women said the same thing. This difference is not that surprising, said the company spokesperson, adding that women are characteristically more likely to take a more conservative approach to investing than men.

Anybody who would like to read the results of the survey in full may visit the website at any time.
