For the partners/mds/directors etc how are you protecting your money with the new administration? I’m assuming Biden’s plan will help the lower class but for the upper class I’m sure there have been strategies your advisors have been telling you. I currently have 20k in savings and feel like it’s just getting inflated away.

I obviously meant GME when I posted this

A couple thoughts OP:

1. Your portfolio is a marathon, not a sprint. Some may beat the market in a given year, but no one is doing it consistently in consecutive years. With that being said they say the only free lunch is diversification. Consider a weighting between equities, fixed income, and cash (the younger you are the higher percentage in equities)

2. For your cash, explore online savings banks such as Amex or Marcus from GS which has a slightly higher yield

3. If you are uber concerned with inflation, consider treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) for some of your fixed income

Not to discount your savings balance, if it were me I would focus more on how to increase your monthly contributions to your portfolio than the impact of inflation

I can’t be bothered to come up with fancy way to “protect my money.”

If my taxes go up, I’ll pay higher taxes. So it goes.

For someone who only has 20k you are really worried.

"Protecting your money" doesn't seem like the right framing tbh

If it improves the lived experiences of people in the country, then I can have fewer Xboxes or second houses or whatever in my life

I use Amex, their rates haven't been cut as low as some others (🤞), and I've also heard good things about Marcus by Goldman.

If you think "Biden's plan" is causing your 20k to be whittled away, you might want to read up on what happens to interest rates in a down economy. And inflation is far, far, far from the biggest concerns economically

Ey and p1 it’s not so much about taxes as much as 20k is losing value. I guess just put it in the market but in one year assets classes are all skyrocketing making it even more difficult to make that into a down payment. I’m not looking to get rich but I am not even close to a buying a condo

Biden's plans will hurt every "class" and probably the "lower class" worst but beyond debating your assumption, to answer your answer your question, much of my wealth is in real estate (rentals) which is a great hedge against inflation and if done correctly, and can handle the ups and downs of the economy..
