Prices flux, some years it is down. But I will happily bet things will be more expensive in 30 years than cheaper against anyone, any time any day.
People afraid to invest are all the same. Broke or uneducated. Even worse? Could be both.
They don't understand how inflation works.
personally i like real estate as an inflation hedge, commercial real estate. my portfolio is (far too) heavy on CRE. need to diversify some, but will actually only do that by earning more and investing that.
I agree that real estate is a better inflation hedge than gold, I'm in some REITs.
