Episode notes
Tighter Fiscal, Looser Monetary = Stagflation Risk
- Lynn Alden warns that looser monetary policy plus wider fiscal deficits and tariffs equals stagflation risk and weaker dollar.
- That combination favors hard assets like gold and Bitcoin as liquidity increases globally.
Practical Planning For Debasement
- Prepare for structural inflation by stacking scarce assets like Bitcoin and sourcing durable goods ahead of price rises.
- Reduce expensive consumer debt (credit cards) and prioritize practical savings and skills.

- Consider taking cheap long-term debt only if you can access it, but prioritize eliminating expensive rates.
