I have 24% of my portfolio in bonds.
You do realize that your investment returns 1.5% in a 10% inflationary environment?

I’m 66 and have a million.
Not for long, at that rate. If you are using a Financial Advisor, get a new one.

Put a percentage you feel comfortable with into gold and silver. The goal this late in the game is preservation of wealth, not the accumulation.

Some in Gold/silver is good, but I’d prefer real estate to those two - RE generates income and appreciates - and with reasonable use of leverage - is far better in an inflationary environment. Also, plenty of stocks not that tied to inflation that I think are probably better investments if not the market as a whole. But 5% of your NW in Gold/silver probably not a bad idea.
