How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years).

The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?
