Beating Inflation
Survival Strategy
Swiping this chart from Wall Street Bullion’s substack post:
The primary point this chart reinforces is to stay away from hospitals, “medical care” and colleges! Contrary to popular opinion, these are NOT essentials!
The other key focus of this chart is the overall 92.6% inflation. This is a “lie”. This is what the government and media want you to think. The real rate of inflation (devaluation of the dollar) for this same period has been 380%. So you should be asking yourself: “Has my income quintupled (multiplied by five)?” To keep pace, your income, if it started at $50,000 per year in 2000, should now be $250,000 per year. If not, you are losing ground to inflation!
Everyone should also understand the value of investing! Good investments can earn income for you without you having to work. Use gold to maintain wealth. For the past 20 years gold has increased 602%. Even if you factor out the incredible rise of the past two years, gold has gone from essentially $588/ounce to $2000/ounce before the recent skyrocketing of price. That’s a 240% increase.
This year (2026) we very well may see gold go from the current $4,200 to $6,000 per ounce by the end of the year. That’s a 50% increase. Far more than inflation!
The stock market has been absolutely insane so far this year. My personal rate of return is over 50% so far this year. If that continues, I’m on pace to double the value of my investments this year! My point is that rather than whining about the rich getting richer, join them at their own game and at least try to maintain and improve your own financial situation.
Sure, the game is stacked against us. We can’t exploit it like the extremely wealthy can, but we can still take advantage of it!
