Ask HN: Personal Response to Inflation?

Maybe some on here have the combination of econ/finance understanding and hacker ethos to answer this well.

If we are staring down the barrel at inflation, what can one do to protect their personal assets?

I took out a favorable car loan, but can’t easily buy a house where I live. Too much of my money is in the bank, though I’ve been buying slowly into the stock market.

Is there some creative personal finance or lifestyle hack to follow here? I’m not looking to get rich or speculate, just take the best choices available.
