I have a medical malpractice annuity that pays out every month and goes up 2% compounded every year. I live in another country where cost of living is way lower than in the US and am worried that rapid inflation in the US or just overall instability will lead my annuity to be practically useless. Are these worries baseless?
That’s what I was worried most about: the devaluation of the US dollar due to American isolationism and tarriffs.
I’m assuming that if there will be domestic unrest (something along the lines of the troubles, or even a civil war/secession), the strength of the dollar will crash pretty quickly. Is this a decent assumption?
