Which is counter intuitive. If your money is going to worth less soon, you should probably spend it. This is the idea behind why “gentle inflation is good”.

I’m looking at expensive hard good rights now. Purchases that I’ve been putting off for awhile because I know those prices are going up soon.

However if your money is going to be worth less soon, you might be inclined to avoid all non-essential purchases so you have more money left for stuff you need (food, rent, gas).
