No, I don't have that feeling at all. I think there will be some inflation, but it won't be too bad.

I too have the "feeling".

I had that feeling for 2-3 years leading up to 2008. I started getting that feeling not long after the recovery began--yes: Even during the Trump years. The guy that manages our portfolio agrees. Thus we're invested very conservatively, with plenty of diversification. It's set up such that our gains moderately outstrip the modest amount we withdraw to supplement our SS income. We won't get rich this way, but we're comfortable and shouldn't get hurt too badly if TSHTF.
