Does looming debt hurt families?

In this podcast, Jerry Robinson on "Follow the Money Weekly" talks with precious metals expert Tom Cloud, not only about gold, silver and palladium, but also about diamonds.

There is news about a new way to build a hedge for your assets from a volatile world, and Robinson and Cloud discuss the details.

Robinson also is joined by Christian debt coach Tom Coates, who is executive director and co-founder of Consumer Credit of Des Moines, a nonprofit organization focusing on Christian credit counseling.

He works with individuals all across the nation and has helped more than 100,000 families find peace of mind through money management and debt reduction.

Among the topics of discussion is the current state of consumer debt in the United States as well as advice for those whose bills are getting out of hand.

Also included are warning signs that Americans should know about.

Then Jerry and Jennifer Robinson take on mail from listeners who ask some tough moral questions about the petrodollar system.

John Bearss also comes aboard to talk about the latest details about preparing for retirement.
