What's the best way to fight inflation?

[Techno]

Honestly, one of the best ways is to reject consumerism.
I have a 2006 Camry (that I bought in Sept 05).
I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 that I bought in Feb 18.
I bought my PC in 2011 and it runs Windows 7.
I only buy new shoes/sneakers when the old ones wear out.
I can't even remember when I bought my TV (26").

Just say no to consumerism.
If what you have still works, it is still good and you should stick with it.

EDIT:
And most importantly, I could retire tomorrow if I really wanted.
But I will most likely wait until January 2028 because while my job is stressful, it's not so stressful that I would quit prior to collecting the SS I paid into my entire teen/adult life.

You are very wise. We live in a debt based economy so consequently the country owes trillions and most citizens are in debt because they want every shiny new object and pay for the shiny objects with credit. I owe no one anything. My house and car are paid off and I pay my credit card bills in full at the end of each cycle. The credit bubble will pop. How many people will be couch surfing or homeless when the bubble bursts.
