As we approach the end of the year, the inflation rate is at an all-time high. In the United States, the current inflation rate has broken records over the last 50 years. A report from CNN Business suggests that there was no such inflation during the Great Depression (2008 & 2009) as it is today. Blame it on the Biden Administration or the current geopolitical crises U.S. consumers are struggling with the heightening inflation. Gas prices, oil, fossil fuel, mortgages, and everyday shopping are at an all-time high. Thus, this has made every single American vulnerable.

Looking at this high inflation, you may think it only impacts the poor. Well, think again. A report from CNN Business shows that the upper class in the U.S are as equally bothered by the high inflation as the lower class. As inflation goes up every passing day, not only do the costs of living essentials go up. Instead, everything from luxury goods to stock market volatility becomes apparent.

If you are from the upper class, you can expect that inflation is as equally impactful for you as it is for the common U.S citizens. Think of luxury cars, and you will see that the costs are unprecedentedly high. Go to the stock market, and you will figure out that your business is on hot water. Apparently, this hints that we are heading towards the looming recession. This would mean that regardless of your financial status and background, you will likely be affected by it.

That is why it is essential to figure out effective ways to overcome the looming recession where the global economy is at the edge of collapsing. Likewise, it is equally important to understand that if the elites can not keep up with the current inflation, the commoners need to be extra conscious.

Here is what rich people can do to cope with the current inflation and the looming recession that awaits ahead. Also, this equally implies the poor.

First thing first: If inflation increases and your current income can not satisfy your needs, you need to lower your expenses. Whether you are rich or poor, you have to lower your expenses. As a result, you can amass a decent amount of money and save up for the unseen.

However, an effective way to lower your daily expenses could be understanding the difference between your needs and wants. If you feel that you are spending too much on your wants, you may want to cut them off - for good.
