Listen in to a crying, sniffling registered nurse. Despite a two-parent income, she tells us that her family is trending toward poverty due to surging inflation. For home prices to fall, many homeowners need to walk away. But if they tried that today, they’d have to pay more in rent than they would on their low mortgage payment. It’s absurd to only have one source of income. 401(k)s are considered a scam by some. I explain. Plan participants buy an income stream “probably later”. Real assets that cash flow provide income “surely now”. There’s no such thing as: rent inflation, food inflation, or energy inflation. Inflation comes from the central bank. One dollar in 1776 has the purchasing power of $35.36 today. The worst consequence of inflation is that one parent could work to be middle class in the 1950s. It became two by the 1990s. After the 2020s inflation wave, two parents might not be enough anymore. I explain why the Fed should keep interest rates the same for at least one year. But I doubt that they will.
