The Fed Is About to Dilute the Dollar Again - Here’s How to Protect Yourself

The Fed is about to “expand its balance sheet” again; which is the polite way of saying they’re about to pump more dollars into the system and quietly shave value off the ones sitting in your bank account.And look, I don’t make the rules. I just read them, watch what actually happens, and adjust accordingly.
When the Fed adds liquidity, your cash doesn’t exactly evaporate… it just buys less. It’s like they’re telling you, “Don’t worry, your money is safe!” while quietly moving the goalpost on what that money can actually purchase. And people still argue with me about inflation like it’s a philosophical debate instead of basic math.

Here’s the simple version:

More dollars chasing the same goods = weaker dollars.

Weaker dollars = your savings account doing cardio in quicksand.

So if you’re sitting on cash thinking it’s the safe option, the Fed is about to remind you, again, that cash is not an asset. It’s a decision to slowly lose purchasing power in peace and quiet.
This is why I say “buy assets” until I’m blue in the face. Not because it’s catchy, not because I’m trying to sell you some fantasy lifestyle, but because assets are the only things that don’t get instantly devalued when the Fed hits the “liquidity hose” button.
Real estate with cashflow.
Properties you can force appreciation on.
Actual tangible value, not digital Monopoly money sitting in a checking account earning 0-point-nothing interest while inflation chews on it.
And yes, I know, people love to say, “But Jeph, the market is uncertain!”
Right. And the dollar is certain? The Fed just told you it’s about to get watered down again. At least real assets give you leverage, cashflow, and something you can improve. Dollars just sit there and quietly apologize for buying less every year.
I don’t look back much. I’m too focused on enjoying my right-now while setting up my next moment to be easier, and future-me definitely doesn’t want a pile of cash that’s been on a steady diet of quantitative easing. He wants assets. Cash-flow. Leverage working in my favor, not the Fed’s.

So here’s the deal:

If you want safety, keep a little cash for emergencies.
If you want to protect your purchasing power, buy real assets.
If you want to actually get ahead while the dollar slowly gets diluted… you already know what to do.

The Fed is about to print. Your move.
