Great post @rok-sivante. Economics in general is an area that I would be quite interested in, and inflation can be both positive and negative.
My mother is extremely interested in history, and whenever anyone mentions inflation, I recall the story of a man who had a wheel barrow full of cash, but because inflation had affected the value of the currency so much, the wheel barrow was worth more. Probably not a true story, but it was the reason as to why I became interested in economics.
I agree - a diverse set of income streams is key to stability over the years. Thanks for sharing!
