Who would have thought ij|Come in addition to your that we'd ever look forward to an annual inflation rate of 6% with an emotion close to ecstacy? Yet, today that's what we're doing. The reason, of course, is that after three successive yearly hikes averaging better than 9%, 1976's 6% increase looks pretty good. Don't be fooled - 6% inflation is high. At that rate prices double in 12 years. What would happen to housing prices with a 6% yearly cost-of-living in- crease? A home that cost $45,000 now would increase to $90,548 in 12 years. In 20 years it would cost $144,320. In 30 years it would sell for $258,456. What does all this mean? Whatever your age, you must find a way to create an pay check. Although there is no such thing as the perfect investment, real estate may be the nearest thing to it. It can be an income producer, a shelter from high taxes, and an ideal protection from the ravages of inflation. Real estate values historically increase faster than general inflation prices and maintain a higher value than most assets in depression. The ideal hedge. .
