I have been stressing the imminent (now blatant) inflation with my investment counselor, and what can be done to protect my retirement savings. I suggested TIPS, but since that would cut out the middle-man fees, he was against it. I believe now, that government backed retirement funds may be in great jeopardy with the "Great Reset" looming. Does anyone here have REAL financial investment experience who can suggest a good plan going forward to deal with likely higher inflation, and possible financial meltdown? (and please, don't post, "Just buy gold!")
