Money printers are going brrrr all over the world. Bitcoin, gold and equities are all good inflation-hedges. Cash is trash. Make sure you own things instead.
Not sure I understand your perspective on “things”. Most physical things depreciate worse than the impact of inflation on cash.
I kind of follow this sentiment. One could also say earn no more than you need and focus the rest of your time on something valuable to you. One hour extra spent working probably does not equal to one hour less working in 5-10 year.
Inflation has been predicted since (at least) 2010:
> We believe the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase plan (so-called "quantitative easing") should be reconsidered and discontinued. We do not believe such a plan is necessary or advisable under current circumstances. The planned asset purchases risk currency debasement and inflation, and we do not think they will achieve the Fed's objective of promoting employment.
