And inflation is what from the day one is paid til the next day when he invests in inflation beating instruments? Or part of that paycheck is automatically invested?

I said, "There are ways to beat inflation." Do you disagree with that simple statement?

Yes, of course there are ways to beat inflation. Mainly consists of borrowing depreciating money and then paying off the loan in the future. Funds must be used for speculation or investment during the period the loan is outstanding.

The average American is not in a position to take advantage of this - they pulled it off for short periods during the tech bubble and the housing bubble. The latter will burst as the former did. You need to be quick.
