I’m retired. I collect my monthly pension, and SS, which are both indexed to inflation. And in the absence of any world-wide disaster—this will continue for the rest of my life. (I’m in my early 70s, and still in decently good health—I take no prescription meds at all.) My house and cars have been paid off for years. Bidenomics hasn’t hurt my investments. The S&P 500 is flirting with an all-time record high. And best of all, unlike in 2020, there’s no scarcity or hoarding of toilet paper.
