Now that you closed your bank account and switched to a credit union. The next thing you have to worry about, is your dollar losing purchasing power. You should invest your money in a investment, that will retain your money's value. You can invest in hard assets that will protect your wealth from inflation.

There are different ways you can buy precious metals. If you want to hold the physical metal, then I would buy sliver, gold and platinum bullion coins. You can also buy shares that invest in precious metal companies. There are several ways you can buy shares, you can buy individual stocks, mutual funds or etf funds.
