In a deflationary era, the prices of things become cheaper, but people have no money. Even if things are cheap, they can’t afford to consume, leading to a depressed economy. The real benefit is that wealthy people become even more carefree because their money is worth more, and labor costs become very low in a deflationary period. A service that used to cost 1,000 now only costs 500, so purchasing power increases. How should ordinary people cope with a deflationary depression? Since we’re not yet in a deflationary era and are still experiencing mild inflation, you can make money during this period or in inflationary regions and keep your assets. Then, during deflation, you can spend. There are two approaches: one is temporal dislocation—earn money during inflation and spend during deflation; the other is regional dislocation—earn money in inflationary areas and spend in deflationary ones. There are many examples of this in life, and you can find references that suit your situation.
