How We Got Here: The 50-Year Mortgage and the Cost-of-Living Spiral
On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes is joined by Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, and Brad Chastain, U.S. Money Reserve’s Director of Education. Together, they examine the growing conversation around 50-year mortgages and what this unusual proposal says about affordability in today’s economy.
They walk through the history of long-term home loans, the widening gap between wages and housing costs, and why many families feel stuck despite strong headline economic data. The discussion turns to broader forces—rising debt levels, currency debasement, and the strain of higher interest rates—and how those pressures shape the financial reality of everyday Americans. The episode closes with a clear look at why many households are turning to physical gold as a way to protect wealth in an era of persistent cost-of-living challenges.
As one of the nation’s largest private distributors of government-issued gold, silver, platinum, and palladium products, U.S. Money Reserve offers a level of leadership unmatched in the industry. With two former Directors of the U.S. Mint on its executive team and more than one million clients served, the company delivers informed guidance backed by real experience.
