With high inflation, its not so much the debt that gets inflated away, but the worthless cash that loses its purchasing power, the debt remains. You would need big pay rises to counter high inflation.

Yes, but the debt has not gone, just been devalued in relation to goods and services. What are you going to do, if a bag of pasta costs £40? Buy the pasta or pay your debt.

High inflation is good for those with debt, that can increase their earnings in line with or above the inflation rate.

If not, then you are fucked.

Wages can rise rapidly in theory im sure the miners got 30% one year and 35% the year after then thatcher got in and fucked them over.unless your talking of hyper inflation then surley the beans are the best bet. But what would happen to renters

Think about the extra tax take on all that wage inflation, Sunak has frozen tax allowances and might be about to raise NI.

Its theft, always has been.

Spend your filthy lucre on tin food and physical silver, would be my best guess.

It’s just a hypothetical question at the moment but it’s going to be interesting

Totally agree.

I think anyone today loading up on debt, thinking it will be inflated away, is making a very bad decision.

Working at a university in brum 18mths ago, the offices got burgled and to my surprise they never took the iPads. The cops said they are easily traced which surprised me. I can’t afford to get to Stoke anyway due to diesel costs lol.

Inflation can mean different things, and even individual historical periods of it had distinct phases. The best investment would be very different for different ones.

Controversially, I don't think we are in for a hyperinflation in this country though. It is barely worth working for a living already, much more inflation and people will simply not bother. Hyper-Inflation leads to revolutions, whereas historically recessions used to be routine. The "soft landing" that central bankers speak of is basically a recession, and what they will attempt to cause.

Oddly enough, I created a 'false debt' in my offset mortgage account for 25k last year; the existing balance means no interest and no fees, but I wanted a little bit of debt in case something stupid happens here in oz like debt jubilee for houseowners.

In weird times like this, anything is possible.

Silver is so bulky though, albeit not as bulky as tinned goods. If you're having to hide or move it then gold or platinum are so much easier.

 

I am currently trying to only visit the supermarket once a week in an attempt to run down my enormous mountain of tinned goods as I start on these once the perishables have run out.

So I am going the wrong way in this!

It also very much depends on duration. Rollover can mean instant death in a sustained high inflation.

reformed nice guy

RPI for the year to February 2022 was 8.2% but luckily everyone got a payrise of a similar amount.... right?

(average payrise was 3.8% according to most up to date stats)
