Real Inflation is Happening

For the past couple of decades inflation – especially hyperinflation – has been the talk of those predicting economic collapse.In no way do I see true hyperinflation such as seen in Zimbabwe. What is absolutely happening is real inflation that is devaluing our dollar and lowering our purchasing power. Basically, our paychecks are shrinking even though they may appear the same.

Consumer prices have risen each and every month for the past 4 months. Fuel costs are rising. Food costs are rising. Seen ammo lately? Building supplies of all kinds are rising. Inflation is happening and shows no sign of slowing down.

With trillions of dollars injected into the economy and the likelihood of additional stimulus’s and/or infrastructure packages providing trillions more – inflation will continue.

Not sure about everyone else but my money supply is not endless. I value each and every dollar. The actions I’m taking, as a result, are to stock up on frequently used items such as shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, razors, etc.

We live in a small camper. As such we have little room to store some of these supplies but being creative pays off.

Spend $250 now on some supplies may save $50 or so later. Whatever you can get right now it is most certainly going to be more expensive later on.

Maybe more.
