Firefighters often retire in their 50s with a pension that doesn't keep pace with inflation. A Gold IRA funded by rolling over your 457(b) deferred compensation at retirement provides a critical inflation hedge. We recommend allocating 15-25% of your deferred comp to gold to protect purchasing power over a potentially 30+ year retirement.
Questions From Firefighters
Can I roll over my 457(b) deferred comp into a Gold IRA?
Yes! Once you separate from service (retire or leave the department), you can roll over your 457(b) into a Gold IRA tax-free. Some plans even allow in-service rollovers at certain ages.
Will a Gold IRA affect my fire department pension?
No. Your pension is completely separate from any IRA or deferred comp accounts. A Gold IRA is an additional layer of protection, not a replacement.
I'm retiring at 52—is a Gold IRA a good idea?
Absolutely. Early retirement means more years to fund and more exposure to inflation. Gold has historically maintained purchasing power over decades, making it ideal for a 30+ year retirement.
