Are you concerned about inflation?
Inflation hit a 39 year high and is growing at a pace faster than expected. Consumer prices rose 0.8% in just last month alone and are 6.8% higher from a year ago. As such if you were lucky enough to get a 5% raise you actually got a pay cut of about 2%. Inflation is even more concerning for those on a fixed income as now your dollar isn't really worth a dollar any more. The jury is still out on whether it is a temporary or a more permanent problem, but there are signs that it is not to abate any time soon which could result in the Fed raising rates which would slow growth.

SPC David S. - Agreed. And what do you see the current administration doing about it? I mean besides passing trillion dollars spending infrastructure bills that are only 11% infrastructure?

SFC Randy Hellenbrand - Yes, this is happening because of progressive policies. Biden is a puppet, only doing as his handlers tell him.

Inflation is a concern, but there are sound investment tactics for mitigation. TIPS is one of them...

Here's an investment option to protection against inflation
If inflation is above what you’re earning in Treasurys, that part of your portfolio loses buying power. But, there are other investments that make up for it.
