Over the past five years, inflation in the U.S. has reached its highest levels in decades, peaking at 9.1% in mid-2022 before cooling to around 2.7% as of late 2024. While inflationary periods are inevitable, investors can take strategic steps to protect their wealth. 

Warren Buffett, with a net worth exceeding $142 billion, advocates two timeless approaches to counter inflation’s effects. First, investing in yourself—enhancing your skills and abilities—ensures enduring value, unaffected by economic fluctuations. 

Second, Buffett highlights real estate’s intrinsic worth, noting its stability and potential for appreciation even during inflationary spikes. Real estates inherently built into the CPI making up 40% providing a strong safeguard against inflation.
