<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1595829, member: 3011&quot;]It&#039;s interesting to think about.&nbsp; During the 70s companies paid out higher dividends and increased them pretty much in line with inflation.&nbsp; I would say the inflation of the 70s was easier to handle because it was easier to find a job and raises generally kept up with or surpassed inflation - at least for the people I knew.&nbsp; Companies weren&#039;t as cruel back then and tried to keep people on the payroll.&nbsp; And buying investment real estate was a layup as far as profitability is concerned.&nbsp; For someone with significant investments, I would think deflation would be worse due to the low interest rates and falling markets.&nbsp; But for someone with a secure job, deflation might be better.&nbsp; So the answer is --- it depends on a person&#039;s personal situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
