I fight inflation through:
  • Acquiring some physical gold.
  • Holding few bitcoins.
  • Acquiring some DeFi real estate tokens with my keys, to be in control.
  • Still hedging inflation by trading on forex market with a very efficient trading robot. Most robots are useless, but there are few of them in the world now that function very well helping traders to get real profits.
How about you?!
i buy some food items in bulk from local farmers i’ve built relationships with.
makes a difference for saving time and money, but one thing i didn’t appreciate until i started was that fresh food actually makes me enjoy food (and cooking it) more.
win-win situation so far, working on sourcing more of my food purchases directly via local farms.

You can save a tremendous amount of money this way, isn't it.

Yes, you do!

Dropped the car, which eliminated the insurance, gas, repairs, and tickets, all of which are individual bills themselves impacted by inflation. I bought an electric bike instead. Frankly I've never felt more free or less stressed in my life. And the second thing I've embraced is piracy: I ended my Netflix and HBO subscriptions, and instead use 123movie.pw to get all that free. I ended my Apple music streaming and use 🏴‍☠️
All this has more than made up for inflation, and allowed more bitcoin stacking, and more money to pay down the house.

Legendary!!
For real.
I went the other direction... Started a fiat job that had a long commute so biking to where I earn was no longer an an option. I had forgotten how expensive owning and operating a vehicle really was, but to be fair
reply
Oops, missed the edit window. ...
I was saying but to be fair, once we have snow, the value of having that vehicle is way more than double or more the cost, for those months.
I'm taking the rising prices as an opportunity to cut back on unnecessary and unhealthy habits. Cutting out snacks and eating out has allowed me to be healthier and kept our food budget stable.
Similarly, learning some skills so that you don't have to hire as many people for repair work and other services, reduces costs and is a great long-term investment.

  • Holding new bitcoins.
  • Investing in my education because it is by being better that I will get more money and do interesting stuff to keep making money.
  • I avoid wasting my money on stuff impacted by inflation in the bad way (I avoid fragile electronics, fake food, etc) to use it efficiently (I buy what I need, no extra brittle stuff).
  • I say no to climate propaganda so I can enjoy cheap oil for my cheap bike.

Avoid to envy false needs that are injected to your brain by advertisers. Be thankful regarding what you already have !

I think the best way for me to cope with inflation is wealth. Gaining wealth. Having an abundant and entrepreneurs mindset.
I don’t worry about inflation. Inflation is just a price calculated by a Central Bureau of Statistics. The number doesn’t reflect my inflation. I don’t want to buy a basket of simple items. I want to buy assets, a great lifestyle, vacations, a healthy lifestyle and experiences. Not simply stuff.
That lifestyle and the experiences I want to buy increases in price like 25-30% a year. Therefore I need to build wealth.
So regarding inflation I try to teach myself into a mindset of:
Buying assets instead of liabilities and luxury comsumer goods.
Educating myself and gaining more financial literacy
Reading books and investing in myself
Building a business to keep stacking dollars at a higher rate than inflation and convert part to bitcoin
Building macro economic simulation models to understand global macro economics and economies of the major countries in the world
Investing in knowledge about the fundamental value and valuation of public traded companies
Finding ways to invest and export to the BRICS
Investing in physical real estate
Investing in some specific stocks
Not buying the porsche 911 but keeping it a dream
Avoiding contact with negative people
Staying away from social media
Not buying stuff turning all unnessesary stuff into fiat and then into sats.

Do you know that inflation affects also wealthy people. Of course, they don't feel it so hard, but they lose millions of fiat currency that is kept in banks. That's nonsense, why not using that money in a better way!? But most of them just don't care... 🤔 🙈
reply
I put my money to work for me....If your money is not working for you, is working for someone else.
Most of my saving are in BTC, the small % in FIAT is into stocks and bank accounts where I get some interest.
BTC is the better option, but I need the FIAT part to pay my bills.

I ask for raises and if I don't get them I start interviewing.
