With all the government spending we know that inflation is a near certainty. The only real question is if it happens quickly or over a year or two. So what are you doing to diversify to hedge against Biden and the Democrats crashing the dollar?

I'm asking as I'm fairly liquid right now in my bank account. I know that money is just sitting there losing value but I'm trying to figure out what to do. I have bought some gold and silver over the last year and plan to set aside around $50/week going forward to buy gold and silver. But besides gold and silver what other avenues should I look at? I wouldn't mind getting into investing but I really have no clue where to start in the investing world.

Hyper inflation is survived with trade goods.

Have you seen the price of ground beef lately?

Inflation is already here.

It many ways it is but it's just starting. I would say it's here but it hasn't gotten awful yet.

But that's not the question. The question is how to deal with the inflation so that all of our hard earned money doesn't just go to waste?

I have thought about this recently, but haven’t done any research. I’m guessing interest rates will have to go up depressing real estate investments. Maybe bank stocks?

Gold and Silver haven’t kept up with inflation, at least not in recent memory, why buy?

Young people aren't buying gold and silver.

Crypto is today's gold and silver.

But what keeps crypto from eventually turning into the modern day dot.com bust?

Here's your diversification strategy. Sell your house, capture your equity. Monetize everything. Then get the frick out of the big city. Buy land in East Texas and grow chickens, pigs, cows, tomatoes, and veggies. Ability to milk cows? Big plus. Practice bartering. Then buy a subscription to Starlink and learn to code.

You laugh? Wait!

Go to the Money board. There are several very astute investors over there. You just have to wade through it like on this board. Bluest of blue chips that pay good dividends. It’s going to be a rocky road. It’s scary frankly.

Nothing surprises me anymore...if you told me in 2019 that the following year we would be quarantined to our homes only to venture out for essentials with mandatory diapers on our faces, I'd think you were insane!

Land! When the Government crashed then you have your own land and you can build defense there to protect yourself and your family. Apples trees and others like that. Then grow wheat, fruits, and vegetables. Also get chickens and others that are healthy to eat. Give you an idea that land on a farm is best bet to do soon.
