          Inflation doesn't usually destroy wealth overnight.

          It does it slowly.

          A little bit each year.

          A little less purchasing power.

          A little more expensive to maintain the same lifestyle.

          And over a long retirement, those small changes add up.

          In this episode, Tyler breaks down how investors can build portfolios that are designed to keep pace with inflation, rather than slowly fall behind it.

          Because protecting your money isn't just about growing it.

          It's about preserving what it can actually buy.

          In this episode, Tyler covers:

          • Why inflation is one of the biggest long-term risks retirees face
          • The asset classes that have historically done the best job of outpacing rising prices
          • Why stocks remain the most powerful long-term inflation hedge
          • How TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) work
          • The role of real estate and infrastructure in an inflation-resistant portfolio
          • Why traditional bond-heavy portfolios can struggle when inflation rises
          • The hidden cost of holding too much cash
          • How overreacting to inflation headlines can hurt returns more than inflation itself
          • Tyler also walks through three increasingly sophisticated portfolio approaches, ranging from a simple stock-and-TIPS allocation to a more diversified strategy incorporating real assets.

            The core idea:

            Inflation isn't a market event. It's a permanent feature of the system.

            The goal isn't to predict it.

            The goal is to build a portfolio that's prepared for it.

            If the show's been helpful, leaving a quick review on Apple or Spotify genuinely helps.

            Hope this gives you something to think about this week.
