How to Invest During Inflationary Years

On this episode of Money on Tap, hosts Seth Krussman and Ben Brayshaw discuss how to invest during a period of inflation. Joined by Dan Michelon, they dive into what exactly the Covid19 pandemic means for your investing opportunities, covering topics such as, is now the time to buy a home? Is gold a safe investment? And what’s the deal with NFTs?Is it too late to fix my retirement at 50?No — the 50s are the catch-up years by design. Catch-up provisions let you contribute above the standard limits to 401(k)s and IRAs, the HSA offers triple tax advantages for future healthcare costs, and a backdoor Roth can build a tax-free bucket even if your income is too high for direct contributions. Pair those with a segmented "bucket" strategy — instead of retreating to CDs and cash — and most late starts can still be rescued. The first step is knowing your income need, not chasing a number.
