Author: Retirement Lifestyle Advocates October 27, 2025 Duration: 31:16
In this episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, host Dennis Tubbergen dives into the repeating patterns of U.S. economic history — revealing how the government has “defaulted” on its debt five times through quiet currency devaluations, and why we may be witnessing the sixth. Tubbergen is joined by renowned trends forecaster Gerald Celente, publisher of Trends Journal, for a no-holds-barred discussion on the global debt crisis, the surging price of gold, the rise of digital currencies, and what these shifts mean for your retirement and financial security. From the “Genius Act” to the fall of the dollar’s dominance, this episode uncovers how history is repeating — and how to prepare before it’s too late. Gerald Celente is the Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute and Publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine. He is the author of the highly acclaimed and best-selling books “Trend Tracking” and “Trends 2000”. With a 40-year track record of identifying, tracking, and forecasting trends, Celente is world-renowned as today’s #1 Trend Forecaster. Celente, developed the Globalnomic methodology to identify, track, forecast, and manage trends, is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology, or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is “Think for Yourself,” observes and analyzes current events forming future trends for what they are – not for how he wants them to be.
