So much money has been printed in recent years that everything is supposedly wildly inflated and will move to things that truly hold value. I’ve seen on a podcast or two where it’s talked about how the only way to deal with the debt is to inflate away the dollar. If that happens, metals seem like a safe haven.

Metals and real estate.
Ocean front and Lake Front property are always in demand.
They aren’t making any more of it.

The only problem with the ocean front is whether you can get and pay the insurance and property taxes.

Instead of an IRA, why don’t you just by gold or silver bars/coins(bullion)?

U.S. stocks would actually be a decent inflation hedge, as future income and expenses would presumably reflect future (eroded) dollar value.

Most long term bonds would be the absolute worst investment in a high-inflation scenario.

Maybe you should watch another one or two podcasts - you can’t inflate the dollar when there’s wolves at the door who want to take over our reserve currency status...

Best thing to do is reduce spending and increase revenue. Which is what Trump is doing.
