Is Gas really that bad? Did anyone consider Inflation?

Everyone is freaking out about 4 dollar gas and how its the most expensive in 20 years but did anyone think that the dollar has also been devalued by consistant inflation? Its not really that close in real terms just as are raises are basically an illusion unless they are really good as medical costs, regular costs etc are much more than the CPI or whatever companies use lol. 3% raise for most ppl to cover inflation that wont even cover medical lol. I was making great money so I thought at like 90K but when I realized I can pull in 40-60K passivly sheltered by my solo check book 401k after leaving that firm and starting my own deciding I didn't want to anymore as it was insane with the new laws and consuming my life. Cost me 60K and another about 60K trying out futures trading but then I dropped that lost enough to know its not for me. So I started looking at crypto and I started to win alot made all that back and then some plus was able to get almost 50K in UI benefits which covered the loss from the firm while I was doing it as I was in that special start a business get guaranteed unemployment no work search req and then the pandemic hit and that guarantee extended my benefits to 53 weeks at 504 plus any bonus 600 and 300 payments as well. Plus now that most of my money is made in my 401K I control my agi to receive max benefits from the govt and max cash flow from my investing activity which isnt work technically and is not in my AGI as its in my 401K which I also have a ROTH IRA and a traditional IRA I will be rolling in and then I will use that as well to finagle income and credits as well as pretty much doing anything like buy a new business use vehicle so I can get a few hundred a month in SNAP, Medicaid which took my health costs from 900 a month to 3 bucks a month lol who the fuck would go back to a job in my situation lol. Also qualify for the affordable housing program bc I know how to structure my income streams to meet the req and that is all they care about as they do not care about my new worth as most people likely don't have one just being realistic so my situaiton is unique where I have figured out a few legal loopholes to pretty much do what I want now retire at 32 after working 2-3 jobs and investing like crazy and also copying the types of investments my clients did because they made lots of cash and paid no taxes so I started doing the same types and guess what I don't owe tax legally and have loss carryforwards but receive cash flow and appreciation via any refinances done. W2 income really is not the way to go unless your getting a lot like 200K. Otherwise its better to lower your agi or income in the law that you are trying to qualify for like some treat x as income and others do not. Also Get 500mb internet free and a phone bill paid for as well lol. All those benefits add up to the lower average pay so I can def see why ppl are saying fuck work at a 9-5 I will use the few hundred grand I worked so hard for now to manipulate my income in order to get mad subsidies and retire like why would anyone want to work unless they like there job which is like 5% prob. I despised working a W2 but I did it to invest and get here where I now play splinterlands for a lving and trade, stake digital assets and in 5 years I will be making passivly in cash flow way more than my gross income before and still get all those benefits. All you need to do to succeed and beat the system is to save and invest until your expenses are covered then keep investing until you have enough to cover retirement contributions, fun and other misc items then you can start spending 25% only and 75 still gets saved just no more side hustles like I do now which add to my cash flow.

What really got me to get it is how I can take the 401k to basically get all these benefits just by living off of that income using the 401K loan as the main tool. Also use it to trick credit card companies into giving me new 0% lines when I pay them off after the interest free term by having my dad loan me money for a few weeks to a month and I look like I have 0 borrowed then get mad credit cards again and pay 0-1.5% for a consistant credit line I lend out on and it keeps increasing now its over 100K and I borrow at 1.5% lend at 15-20% in stable coins lol. Also get about 10-18% cash on cash in various equitiesd im in which distribute monthly and quarterly. The only reason I am working a ton now is wrapping up any extra things and cathing up from 6 months were I could not do anything bc of my back. My chronic pain is another reason I put early retirement into place or partial retirement because Ill always do something just the primary motivation is my happiness now, money is second and not having a boss is third and never dealing with workplace bs i mean now I work in my underwear and rip my bong all day to try to get some releif and the high is a bonus. Could never do that if I did not prepare for this to get worse. Also may get disability as well at 25K a year in which case I would get all living costs covered and just trade in my 401k and invest in start ups and other things knowing I have that guaranteed money but I would have to lower the AGI a bit so I can get any other benefits like the EIC and savers credit. I would make the max allowed by disability on my tax return the rest would come from investments and disability which I would probably be pulling in the equivalent of 150-200K a year with the savings after all is said and done. Working just isnt worth the pain anymore I cant do it I have enough in my retirement and if I get disability I am set for life and I will inherit about 10 million at some point and then I can steward the wealth so we now will have generational wealth where no family member needs to work and a trust will pay living expenses of all family members so the basic needs are always met and extra cash to have fun will be included but anymore is there responsibility but the catch is they need to do something, don't care if its making clay sculputres as long as they like it. I just want my kids to worry about nothing and pretty much have every advantage in life like I did but better where they do not need to work or be someone elses slave as they will be free from the financial slavery in the US everyone is to blind to see. Even 50-100K jobs barely make it so you need to go big and get by while doing it to even have a shot at getting into the next wealth tier above like 50 million which is my goal and my kids goal will be to take it to 100 million and beyond. Eventually the trust which only allows 50% of cash flow to be spent the other 50% reinvested will live on forever growing and making my furture generations lives easyer and allow them to gain more knowlege, power and wealth in there lives. Or they can own a farm and just live a simple life I do not care as long as they are always provided for with an abundance of wealth so they never need to suffer say if a war broke out I would want property and businesses set up in many countries via my solo 401K to hold passive investments in various countries as well as helf in digital assets that can not be seixzed so my kids can live knowing that half the wealth is out of the financial system in physical metals and digitial assets so it can be accessed anywhere. This will allow my family the greatest chance at leaving this country say they decide to freeze 401Ks well mine is a bit harder to freeze when half is in digital assets outside the financial grip of the govt. They could ask me but I would be on a island and say no thanks here is my citizenship and stick em with that. You never know and if you can amass the wealth all sorts of closed doors open at each level of wealth and money gets things done like say you want to influence a law to make a business you own more profitable by say 10X you have to have the clout to lobby that into the biil by donating to making it happen basically a legal bribe. To get ultra wealthy you either need a great Idea or know how to hustle and be smart take advantage of every cent and benefit while maximizing cash flow not impacting that 30-55K in benefits depending on disability and also having that 40-60 K in cash flow in a solo 401k to fall back on and take any business activity to the threshold allowed by disability which isnt a issue as I may get a few thousand in profit I just do it to pay for my tax software and I have a couple of clients for active income and can barely do that so disability would make my life alot easier and secure that financial future for my family. Also helps that my finance's family is verty wealthy as well not sure exact amounts but they just built a 2.5 million dollar house and own 120K sq feet for industrial buildings rented to the business he sold plus has specialized self storage units for race cars as well as race cars. Likely we will receive around 20 million in total in 20-30 years (hope never) but that will literally set us up for the remainder of our lives and since I will only use 10% of the income at that point this trust will grow and grow to hundreds of millions and possibly into the billions after a generation or two more. I wish more figured this stuff out but if they did laws would change so I guess who ever reads this may get some benefit but I keep all my hustles to my self now as some are very unique and clever but if many did it the rules would change to prevent the law from allowing me to do many of the things I do. Nothing illegal just very out of the box creative thinking on how to get money to replace your salary and never work again because I hated it so much.
