Coffee can in the back yard.
Or a global bond portfolio, but that's too logical for most people who make brash statements.

Global Bond - Is that like James Bond or you just joking?

What? No, I am not joking. I don't think I get it.

one option is to just spend it...in the future, it will be worth less than it is now...

I just look up Global Bond, it appears this is a good buffer to use since the falling dollar.

When did you notice the dollar going down? It's been going down for a long time.

"the dollars is going down" is internet lingo at its finest and why I love the internets.

If you don't need it for 5 or more years, buy an inflation protected treasury bond.
If you need it sooner - food, guns and ammo, diapers, cigarettes, and blue tarps - those things will always hold value.
Whatever you do don't buy gold.

The dollar has never not gone down, which is a good thing. Deflation tends to be bad for a variety of reasons.
Just invest in something that will pay a return (hint: not precious metals). Some will do better than others in an inflationary environment though. You might try real estate, for example. This could be great if you can get it with a 30 fixed rate mortgage. A lot of stocks, especially the big multinationals, should do just fine.
Just don't *buy* 30 year bonds.

I saw that iShares is about to release a floating-rate bond etf. Pretty interesting to me, good way to get exposure to stuff for people who wouldn't normally be able to.

What benchmark is the floating iShares ETF tied to?

Speaking of silver, it hit its highest price since 1981 (not adjusted for inflation).
