Inflation 2022 is upon us…as of January 2022, inflation has hit 7.5% – which means we are all feeling it in one way or another.
On top of that we have volatility in the stock market. It can seem like a lot.
So the natural questions become, how long will inflation last? Where are some of the best places to invest during inflation so your money continues to grow…well hopefully this video helps tackle those questions.

Commodities are great. Energy is also doing well it seems.
Get your facts right. I lived through the 70's and 80's. They were not this bad.
Still killin’ it Erin! Keep up the great work.
Ah! A breath of fresh air!
This was great listening to while having my Sunday morning cup of coffee!
Ibought ibonds in October, and had my kids do the same. Rates from May to November last year were 3.58%, and current rates from November to May are 7.12%. Expectations are that when rates adjust in May, we will still see good rates. Bonds must be held for one year, and if pulled out between one and 5 years, you lose 3 months interest. With that, still far better than any other short term investment.
80% of the US dollars were printed since January 2020 :O
High cost oil and gas can be attributed to the current administration's energy policy. New wells are not being drilled because of holdups in EPA and other government agencies not approving permits, so domestic oil production is much lower than before the pandemic. High energy prices drives increases to food and other items delivered by truck and is a major contributor to rent increases. Your analysis of inflation due to "supply change issues is vague hand waving. Where is the data to support this?
So I can let my inflation burdened savings erode by themselves, or let them erode even faster in a declining stock market. Tough choice.
Really enjoying the attention to explaining economics here, which follows on one or more videos you did not long ago that addressed socio-economic class. Financial literacy, when informed and well-delivered, is always welcome, but this additional layer adds something special to your work. Economics, while experts have much to contribute, is too important to be left only to those with advanced degrees in the subject. So speaking about inflation, both as a phenomenon onto itself and as something with bearing on money management and investing, offers context and greater meaning to the how and the why of money-related decisions. It's becoming a real signature of your work, this task of situating financial education within historical and socio-economic conditions.
nice!
Okay Erin you win, time to take some of that money I have piled up in savings and get it into the market instead of doing remodels in the house, I can't find anyone to do the work anyway, and it's not like it really needs to be done right now. (Well the wife might disagree) But I will say Erin said. 🙂 Thanks as always for the video, take care…
This was another great video, and very well prepared. I suspect, your engagement could shoot up a little more if you start to step back from strict adherence to written dialog and instead start moving toward more improvised discussion, especially when you are on screen. Big picture, think of your favorite YouTubers, what makes you feel a connection with them? From my viewpoint, the connections happen when you feel as though they are talking with me as they would during a lunch or at a party. Creating the feeling I’m talking about is pretty tough if they are reading from a teleprompter or reciting a script.
It’s the subtleties that stand out, for example, most people make big use of contractions in casual conversation, whereas, when written, most people ‘do not’ use as many contractions. Likewise, people don’t typically write with the same slang that they speak with.
I know you’re not soliciting advice in these comments, but you seem like such a nice person and hard worker that I thought maybe letting people see more of your natural personality might help build the channel a little.
Maybe try making a video just answering questions without prepared answers. Something like “What is an index fund and why do I like them?” Answer like you were talking to a friend or your mom etc. No need to post the video if you hate the results but if it works, we will all start to feel like we are your best friend, if that makes sense. If it helps, put a picture of a friend by the camera. Just a thought.
LOL!
Great to see Peanut poke his head in the video. Glad you hit this topic and provided some long range thinking. Thanks ETM
Why are the marginal profits of companies increasing at the fastest rate that they have ever? Supply chain is being a scapegoat for massive corporate greed. It’s not just about supply chain. Please address this in one of your videos.
What do you think of I-Bonds? They have been a popular place to park money since late last year because of the unusually high yield (over 7%) they currently have.
cute dog!
Inflation was 2% when Trump left office. Now it’s 7% and rising. Both faced a pandemic economy but handled it differently. We went from energy independence to buying expensive oil on the spot market. We rewarded people for staying home with more money than working.
The government tends to deny for too long & over compensate when it finally has to stop inflation, causing extreme pain for many years. Those of us who invested in 1999 didn't see our money again until 2014. Fortune does seem to favor the market timers who keep a lot of cash around & are just good at detecting trends.
I want a C8 Corvette, but I will hold off a couple of years.
I thought inflation is caused by monetary policy? They call it quantitative easing also known as printing money out of thin air. 80% of all US dollar were printed in the last 22 months.
I went the olde way and buy silver.
What about investing in Berkshire Hathaway?
Wel reporting. Best investment is a long term investment. What the market is going through at this moment is just a hiccup or and event. Never leave cash in the bank because banks will love you and make money from your hard working money. Thank you for sharing
Inflation is soaring because of the price of energy. It doesn't have to be that way. Our situation is self-inflicted
Actually, the inflation didn’t need to happen this bad. This is the fault of the printing of money. The Democrats and there radical policies.
Real estate has treated me better than any market fund.Rental props,rebuilds,resales,I've always done better than market funds.Maybe I'm just a crappy investor,but I love looking and feeling and seeing property.people always need a place to live.
I wish they could clone you, at different ages. Your positivity and enthusiasm make me appreciate you. I understand your reservations about gold. I stayed out of it until I hit 59 last year, then decided to go 15% gold as a negatively correlated asset to stocks. The other negatively correlated assets I went with are 20% long-term treasuries and 5% short-term treasuries. It's not good for young people like you, but for people near retirement like me, it minimizes volatility and guards against sequence of return risk. So, while the S&P500 is down 9.72% this year, my portfolio is down only 3.93%. In the long term, it means I'll make less than the market and have high volatility in my hedge assets (gold and long-term treasuries), but because those 35% high-volatility hedge assets are, in the long term, negatively correlated with my 60% equity holdings, it increases the success rates of my portfolio's Monte Carlo simulations for retirement. Gold in itself is a horrible investment, but as a component of a well diversified portfolio it can enhance the long-term success of a retirement portfolio whose only requirement is not to run out of money during the last-hurrah spend-down phase of a person's life. Ken Fisher says he doesn't recommend people invest in gold because he doesn't know anyone who can hold it long enough for it to do for them what it does best and better than any other asset. But he doesn't know me. Anyway, I look forward to you lifting my spirits every week. Thanks for your videos.
I don't feel comfortable investing directly into the stock market. I do have a Roth account and I can certainly increase that. Is that a good idea? Also I think you're puppy probably wanted to say something, LOL. Thanks for the good advice.
"Live below you means. Is it sexy advice? No, but it is good advice"… I personally think it is great advice – but unfortunately many of our fellow Americans may think differently.
Erin – I enjoy your content!
The Price of Energy (Oil) is a HUGE factor with Inflation. Fertilizer is a major factor in the cost of Food. The Energy Policy of our Country the last year has caused the Price of Energy to increase significantly. Now just recently (March 2022) the War in Russia/Ukraine will push up the Cost of Natural Gas. Natural Gas is what is needed to produce Fertilzer
