How to Keep Investing During High Inflation

High inflation makes it very difficult to invest, particularly for those of us whose salaries aren't keeping up with the escalating costs we're facing. Almost paradoxically, though, that same inflation makes it critically important to invest. After all, over the long run, owning shares in companies that are able to adapt, profit, and grow despite that inflation just might be your best chance of protecting your own purchasing power.

The need to keep investing despite those challenges does raise a key question: How exactly do you go about investing during periods of high inflation? When all is said and done, it takes a bit more planning and perseverance than investing in ordinary times, but the tactics involved are very similar.
