Social Security increases with inflation, which protects a lot of retired folks from the effects of inflation on their later years. Living an additional 20-30 years without an increase in income would be devastating when food and gas are increasing faster than they have in a long time. There are drawbacks, however, to the increase of benefits that retirees should know about, especially when incorporating this information into their retirement and financial plans.

I decided to commit to the title of this blog, despite that it may or may not imply that I’m recommending putting money into rice. With inflation concerns entering the public and private consciousness as well as affecting other commodity areas such as lumber, it may not seem totally unlikely that someone would recommend a commodity as an investment.
