I'm sitting in on a 401(k) webinar at work today and the host is talking about historic inflation rates of 2-3% to use as a benchmark for retirement contributions.

Anyone think we're ever going back to that level again?

No.

Oh, we’re laughing. We’re laughing. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Too much money is being printed to go back to those levels.

That webinar sounds like torture.

I refrained from asking if they offered bitcoin as an option so as to not embarrass them.

Would fall on deaf ears with the 60/40 portfolio brigade.

If they do it would be transitory, imho.

“transitory”

😬😬😁

Nope. It’s not going to happen as long as we are using USD as the unit of account. Put a fork in it. It’s done. I see persistent higher inflation for a period (of unknown length) followed by hyperinflation.
