But there’s far more at play here than simply inflation.

The gas and diesel prices and supply chain issues are going to make getting goods more difficult.

Buying physical assets actually sounds like a plan. When mr. mm and I discuss whether we should buy something these days, it’s generally not a huge purchase and it’s something we really could use, so the philosophy is, we have the money, the product is available, for now, and the money is still worth something.

Might as well get it while it’s still available and we can afford it.

Yes, Mrs. VanShuyten and I have decided to get several big ticket items now, ones that will have to be replaced in a few years anyway, instead of waiting until the repair cost is more than the replacement cost. So far, it’s pricey, but we think it will save us 20-40% in the near future.
