The real inflation problem is in asset inflation.

[YOSHIE]

When individuals, households, and even the government talk about inflation, one of  the first thing that comes to mind is food and service prices.

Talking about inflation, I have surveyed several regions, yes, in 2026 the impact of inflation will be felt and currently many people say it will be felt very much.
We all know that gold has risen tremendously, perhaps now those with large economic incomes can buy it, property asset prices have soared, land assets that were once affordable to buy are now no longer available, what's more, the current economic conditions are pressing.

People now understand that inflation doesn't just happen to goods and services, as I said above, what's more, the current decline in the value of fiat currency is crazy, I don't imagine that in 2030 the world economic situation will be worse and inflation will run rampant, this will be a disaster for world society as a whole.

Is there any benefit to that? Are wealth owners outside the inflationary policy? What is the point of being rich? Owning more wealth, not owning money. If you consider money as the criterion of being rich, then you can go to Iran or Vietnam. If you own $1k in your country, you are a millionaire in those countries.

That's why others who have worked hard in their countries are moving to a country where their money is superior. Those with wealth are not exempted with inflation but they know how to defeat it with how they are managing their assets and wealth. Instead of them being eaten by the inflation and getting frustrated by it. They're looking for ways to defeat it and retain the money that they've worked hard for. I would like to migrate in a country as well where my pension might make me live to the fullest without having to think that I'm actually poor to average.

That's there is no argument about how inflation of asset structurally reshapes the landscape of the socioeconomic class of any country.
It is bare open and anyone who understands economics well will see  how assets trend upwards in price to show how much inflation has eaten into a country's economy.

The more inflated fiat currency becomes, the higher the value of hard assets in price distribution overtime, making ownership more difficult than ever before.

[slapper]

We still have to say this is capitalism. However, as defined in any textbook there must be some relationship between labor and capital that produces a reward for productivity. You're talking about something different. Asset-ism, maybe. In places where the main source of wealth lies outside of work.

The stock price of a company trading at 40 times earnings. What is that reflecting what? Not productive output. Not innovation necessarily. It's reflecting excess liquidity that has nowhere else to go because rates were held down so long that money just... Piles into equities because there's no alternative. TINA, they called it. There Is No Alternative.

However, workers're not falling behind. They've been blocked from the main engine for building wealth during their lifetime. Behind means the same race. This isn't the same race.

Assets value increasing or inflating is also a byproduct of what's happening in the economy. And if the cost of goods are also dealt with inflation, that turns out that the assets that drives the investing market will also have its own increase. IMHO, the real problem deals with how manipulative the big corporations are. If they are holding specific industries in the neck and they're the oligarchs of it, they can drive the prices up and also can result to the appreciation of their valuation and as well as the assets that they own. But, the consumers are the ones to suffer from it. They're playing it well like involving the global politics and as well as the Strait of Hormuz war to control the oil prices. And it's no doubt, whoever control oils, controls the world and that's the same with these corporations who are into this industry.

When individuals, households, and even the government talk about inflation, one of  the first thing that comes to mind is food and service prices.

Within, there's the real underlying issues; housing inflation, stock inflation, land inflation and education inflation.  The aforementioned matters because, asset owners become wealthier while workers fall behind.

Could be unintentional, but today's monetary policy may widen inequality by inflating assets at a higher proportion to wages, consequently transferring wealth to the ownership class!

A lot of people notice inflation when food, transport or electricity prices go up, but asset inflation is another big problem that often gets ignored. Take instance where a worker may get a salary increase from $1,000 to $1,500 which looks like progress. But at the same time, the price of land, houses and even quality education may have doubled. So despite earning more, that person is actually finding it harder to own a home or build long-term wealth. This is why people who already own assets tend to get richer, while those living only on salaries struggle to catch up.

When ordinary people think of inflation, they usually mean the increase in the price of food, fuel, rent or daily services. Moreover, the cost of land, shares, and even education is increasing rapidly, making it difficult for workers to meet all these needs. A worker's salary increases gradually. If he has assets, he can become rich if he sells them at a good price in the future. But those who have no assets, no matter how hard they work, they cannot move fast and their chances are very low because the salary of workers does not increase at all. If we can see that in most countries, due to inflation, the price of goods increases, so they have to work for low-paid jobs and have a lot of difficulty in purchasing them. However, in the current situation, only those who have money, those who have assets and those who do big business in the stock market can become rich. Currently, the price of assets increases faster than the salary of a wage earner, which makes it difficult for workers to become rich by earning money through their labor, but those who have enough assets can move forward.

[Darker45]

What's actually the issue?

If money is losing its purchasing power, everything becomes more expensive. It's not just food and other services that grow more expensive because the value of money weakens; it's everything else as well. That includes education cost, land, other real estate properties, and practically everything else that you buy with your money.

But that's not necessarily unintentional. Inflation rates are supposed to be within the control of central banks, although there might be instances it could go beyond their control as in the case of hyperinflation. But the systematic and continuous devaluation of money is intentional.

[khiholangkang]

But don’t forget the wealth being transferred are also inflated. Asset owners may seem to become wealthier by figures but the inflation that cause the asset price to inflate will also cause the money paid for that inflated asset to also not have any value too.
So the real question does selling your asset in an inflated economy make you actually wealthier. Many asset owners will hope they can sell their asset in more stable currencies and not an inflated one, an inflated economy is not a wealth creator.

This means that even though our assets have increased at a reasonable rate with inflation, we are not actually richer, we just keep getting the same value but with a different number in fiat in your country.
Simply put, in numbers it increases but in value it is the same if you look at it from that point of view, but it is much better because we can maintain the value of our money stored in an asset.
But inflation is not only from the declining value of money, but from the scarcity of assets that can be one of the reasons why someone can become rich.

Yes what’s worse is that you may not be getting the same value with a higher inflated number from when it wasn’t inflated and less, you can even be getting lesser value from the inflated numbers.
Inflation makes 10 million have less value than 2 million that is not inflated.
Scarcity of asset is not an end result of an inflated economy, asset can be scare at any point of the economy so it’s not an advantage of inflation only.

[Mate2237]

Inflation has continued to widen the inequality level between in the society. There is a class distinction currently which exists due to the rise in price of goods and services. As inflation continues to bit on harder the poverty line increases and more people finds themselves with in the poverty bracket because the cost of living continues to increase making living tougher which in turn affect the quality of life that an individual lives daily.


Inflation is one of the things that defines an individual if you want to know a Man that is doing well, the type of economic situation which the person is living is important. Anytime there is a an increase in inflation the quality of life that people lived goes down because basic needs and necessities becomes more harder to afford.

When you do the math and you know that your physical work can't close the gap? Something shifts. There is no laziness. You've made the calculations.
We teach children, that hard work gets you somewhere. And the search for the exact point in history when it became structurally unsound. If it ever was. Now the information from pretty much every developed economy indicates that the single most important factor of wealth is if your parents had assets. Not effort. Not grades. Failure to arrive on time. The inheritance of the costume of meritocracy.
This salary increase is 3%. Housing 8%. Equities maybe 10%. Let that go on for 20 years.Let that continue for 20 years.
Math is cruel. It can be entered into a spreadsheet and the lines can be seen to move apart and then never converge again. They never reconverge.

It's not unintentional, it's actually called the Cantillon effect, you might wanna search and read about it but basically means that those close to the money printer benefit the most from it. So, when inflation is created those closest to the money supply can borrow at low interest rates and invest in assets, whilst everyone else – mainly workers – first face rising prices and then, if they’re lucky, a pay rise, but this always comes later and is often lower than the actual rate of inflation.

What's actually the issue?

That the majority of the population is becoming poorer.

[asriloni]

I admit the gap is getting widen due to the inflation.  However, i see so many asset owners are selling their asset even lower than their tax object selling value. It's all due to the less people who can afford to buy their asset.

Inflation may be inflating assets, but since there are no buyers with who asset owner can sell their asset? This is why the bubble burst is around the corner.

This is why the rich elites and the corrupt politicians have no interest in stopping inflation. They become wealthier.
Inflation is a process of redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich. The wealthy people own assets, and their prices are going up, the wealthy people also have a lot of debt, but debt gets devalued by inflation. The fiat monetary system favors the wealthy and punishes the "average Joe", who works 9-to-5 and lives paycheck to paycheck while trying to pay his 30-year mortgage, credit card debts and student debt. Housing has become unaffordable in many cities of the developed world, but the corporations are making bigger profits.
The financial system still works, but the quality of life for the majority of the people is declining. Shrinkflation and greedflation can only be stopped, if the government intervenes, but the oligarchy controls the government, so nothing will change.

[Darker45]

My point was simply that when the purchasing power of money weakens, everything becomes more expensive, not just food and other basic services. Of course, the wealthy benefit from it one way or another. As mentioned, those who own properties, for example, gain from it because their assets get more expensive. But, again, this isn't selective. This is simply inflation. The rich man's sprawling mansion appreciates in value but so is the lemonade glass sold by the poor boy.

In the process, of course, the rich get richer and the poor poorer. That has always been the rule since time immemorial.

If you don't want government monetary policies to affect you interms of inflation then avoid being a salary earner. Be an investor and manufacturer. In other words, go into a business that you can generate income even when you are not there. Go into foreign exchange market where you don't rely on your government monetary policy alone for your income but where foreign policy can be the guiding principles of your financial outflow and inflow.

Also, invest in land and physical properties because they don't lose value or they don't easily lose value. The more the rate of inflation increases, the value of your land will also increase especially with good roads and facilities around it.

You can invest in bitcoin also, instead of keeping your money in fiat currency that is devalued with inflation.

[The Cryptovator]

Inflation itself is a problem; we don't need a different definition for that. First we notice food and service inflation because these are basic needs for everyday life. In our country, most of the people are poor and lower middle class. That's why this inflation is a major issue. Later, we observe asset inflation occurring because assets are not considered daily necessities.

Inflation affects all classes, whether rich or poor. But rich people could cover the inflation since they have their own business or decent jobs. Only poor people have to struggle with the inflation since their income hasn't been increasing.

Wealthy does it because they increase the price of their own products as well. The guy who builds a toy, still gets a salary, so if he is making 1000 dollars a month, he still makes 1000 dollars a month, and most likely they will be getting once a year increase in salary.

The guy who owns that factory that makes the toys, could be selling it for 100 dollars, then to 110, then to 120, as you can see, same period, the owner made 20% more, while the salary worker is still making the same.
