Comments on: US Inflation Much Higher Than Reported: Get Ready For 10% Inflation http://livingoffdividends.com/2008/01/24/us-inflation-much-higher-than-reported-get-ready-for-10-inflation/ Join me on my journey to achieve financial independence through dividends, passive income and investments Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:22:11 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Jeannieone http://livingoffdividends.com/2008/01/24/us-inflation-much-higher-than-reported-get-ready-for-10-inflation/comment-page-1/#comment-62658 Jeannieone Sun, 23 Aug 2009 19:19:07 +0000 http://www.livingoffdividends.com/2008/01/24/us-inflation-much-higher-than-reported-get-ready-for-10-inflation/#comment-62658 I have a BA in Economics. I was taught that when you increase the money supply you create inflation. I believe the Federal Reserve is holding the US rates low artifically because we would not be able to pay the interest on the debt. The truth is we are already upside down and without the Fed we would be in hyperinflation right now. We are in a house we owe to much on. The Scariest part of this is that hyperinfation my be our only way out. It would monitise the debt and make us appreciate and respect a balance budget. I have a BA in Economics.

Keep your payments low to provide flexibility in the case of job loss. This is not to say you should buy the largest home you can afford... As for the Rydex Inverse Government Long Bond Strategy fund... The expense ratio is awfully high and it has 12b1 fees. I'd almost rather buy short-term bond funds where the prices won't get hit as hard by rising interest rates and you'll receive the benefits from them in higher yields quicker.
