My advice is not just for elites.
By definition people in unions are not the top of the professional totem pole but unions do improve working conditions.

Personally I wouldn’t do it. But at this stage in my life I have no reason to take dumb risks.

In both cases, cutting your household expenses can only deliver a one-off reprieve from escalating costs of living, whereas inflation continues to erode your purchasing power over time.
You can only win by increasing your income. My concrete suggestions are:
-if you are a low-wage worker start or join a union
-if you can afford to invest do so in assets that are part of the inflation problem, if that makes sense. Think about how you can use leverage sensibly.
-if you are a well paid professional take advantage of the tight labour market to job hop and get a big pay increase
-if you think you can start a business (including selling your labour for yourself rather than as an employee) do so
That’s about all I can think of. There are other solutions such as getting more/better qualifications to increase earning power but the above are short-term fixes which deliver long-term solutions

That’s about all I can think of. There are other solutions such as getting more/better qualifications to increase earning power but the above are short-term fixes which deliver long-term solutions
1. Even if your part of a Union, it would be hard to negotiate for higher wages if the demand for the underlying service/product has not increased yet. Any successful negotiation might occur when inflation has spread throughout the economy thus having no effect on real wages. May as well just not have joined a union to give yourself more mobility.
2.do you mean government bonds and assets in the stock market? Why invest in inordinately high asset prices with unfavorable price to earning ratios? These prices are unsustainable given the lack of revenue. It would only be smart if you could anticipate the inflation and put money into it before inflation strikes. And why would you want to invest in a government bond when real returns will be inflated away.
3. This is only a temporary solution since the higher wages won't be sustainable due to inflation increasing costs. The tight labor market only occurs either before the bust or hyper inflation/ stagflation kicks in.
4.hard when costs are going up. At least in the long term. And any advantage incurred by low interest rates will be nullified by more inflation or a rate hike.

OP isn’t all this advice assuming inflation is going to continue to get much worse? You say buy more assets all assets are incredibly overvalued right now the only way they will be worth more is if inflation continues to get worse and if it keeps going that way too far we may have worse things to worry about ie rioting civil unrest some new ubi bull**** being ushered in

Seems like a death sentence to me.
In todays world there are just so many opportunities. I have gotten lazy and lost most of my hustle. But losing (possbily) all my crypto in Celsius has me thinking about getting off my a$$ a little. Nothing I ever planned on selling for 5-10 years, but it is a substantial amt.
Anyway, I am a big believer in real estate. I started buying rentals in 2010. Hopefully this rise in rates will open up more buying opportunities to add to my properties.
I am also a believer in not carrying any debt. I know it is not practical for most. But never take out debt for depreciating assets. (cars etc). Having never carried debt over my lifetime has allowed me to 'weather' storms, etc. It means I never spent more than I could afford also. Sure at times, it was not fun, but it has benefited me far more than the annoyances it has cost.

And unions don't benefit society at large because it decreases abundance by making a service or product inordinately expensive..the union workers are also consumers, mind you, so more unionization would make life more difficult for the average union worker. Being in a union is only beneficial to a worker in relative terms in a society where there aren't many unions, and therefore the advice to join one is A bad one as it only applies to a small section of society.

By contrast if you have a margin loan the lender can force you to take a loss to cover the margin. Ultimately you can lose both your shares and the security (ie your house)
But you already know all this.

But now I’m deleveraging and hopefully will be able to finance my next big property development with zero involvement from the bank
Nothing wrong with borrowing if it’s done safely and for the right reasons

I could have had a lot more if I borrowed money, but when 2009 came along, my neck was not stuck out. I just lived off savings for about 3 years. When work was not coming back, that is when I started investing in realestate. Again, all paid for in full. Have enough in rental properties to cover all our living expenses.
Anything made is discretionary income. But I sacrificed a lot in my early 20's which is the sole reason I am where I am today.
But 'borrowing safely' is an oxy moron. One of the most successful guys I know was taken out by the banks. 50+mil net worth self made developer. When 08-09 came along, despite having enough cash to pay on his loans for 5+ year (he had 5 mil cash in the bank) they took EVERYTHING he had. Dont fool yourself. There is no safe borrowing if a dooms day event happens. Loans can and do get called in. But for the most part you are correct, but I have seen it happen.

When the Soviet Union collapsed everyone we know had a their wealth evaporate literally overnight. Most people wouldn’t consider holding domestic currency as a “risk”. Similar thing happened recently with the operation in the Ukrainian territories, although not to the same extent. Worse it was difficult to get currency into the country with the swift shutdown, my mum just shrugs it off now.

Yea. I have been in crypto since 2013. Have never sold any. This past 1.5 years I added heavily to my btc holdings. I liked how Celsius gave me flexibility with earning yeild and several times I floated cash with a collateralized loan which has zero tax impact since it does not involve selling.Damn brah. Funny enough, I spoke with the Celsius team last year and tbh thought some of them were kind of dumb and showed a lack of attention to detail and because of that, never put crypto with them. Also took stuff out of blockfi as well because they were so wishy washy with their rates
It's crazy how the little things turned out to be major decisions

Long term was taking a shot at something. It would need to be life changing for me and that is somewhere in the 8 figure range. I think that is / was reasonable over next 5+ years. Before the drawback, I had 7+ figures.
Got caught being greedy making a stupid 3%. Making 35k in interest seemed like a 'good' idea especially with the fact it was paid in BTC and would increase the resultant yield as prices rose.
At current prices, it is still over 500k possibly lost. But I cant worry about it. I was treating it as Vegas money, so I can afford to lose it. But I bought over 250k last year with extra money I had on hand that I did not have a need for. I should have bought another car.
Live and learn. I still believe in crypto long term. But I have been around long enough that I should have not gotten greedy.

By the time people do any of that stuff we will have a new president and inflation will be over with, Its not like it is a symptom of some sort of larger thing it is planned to control us.
Notice how everything involved with free movement around is a hassle. airplanes, gas prices, everything to keep us at home. If we travel we talk to each other and they lose the narrative.
They want us planted in front of the t.v watching the news all day. Not out partying and having fun.

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
