In the fight against 2025 inflation, consider investments known to outrun inflation such as stocks in relatively inelastic industries (i.e Energy, real estate) or inflation-indexed bonds. Hedge against currency devaluation by diversifying across real estate and various commodities such as Gold.

Curious that you don't mention bitcoin because that's the best strategy, to buy and HODL bitcoin.

Make paying down high interest debt a priority to avoid rising costs.Side hustles or upskilling to cover cost.Maintain emergency savings in high-yield accounts to mitigate the way inflation eats away at the value of cash.Cut out non-essentials, lock in fixed rates(on loans or utilities),that sort of thing to adjust spending habits.Be nimble-constantly evaluate and refine approaches as the economic landscape evolves positioning for sustained viability despite near-term price increase.

Those are not ways to beat inflation, they are ways to mitigate it.

It's really hard to find a way to beat inflation in 2025. There are problems in each of investment we could do.
Real estate demand has dwindled, they might grow in large cities but are already decreasing in small towns and villages. This is true for most nations now.
Stocks are not as attractive as the dividends has started decreasing. The market is either already saturated or there is not enough demand which is slowing down every business.
So direct investment in a new business would still be risky for the same reasons. With large corps trying to micro manage people, it's difficult for small business to compete.
Bank rates are low, the rise and fall of interest rate are regular but this time there's liquidity but not enough loan demand even when the rates are low.
That leaves us with crypto which too has gone full speculation mode with pumping and dumping of memecoins being the most talked about thing.

Another one that does not mention bitcoin in his rant, but “crypto”. No wonder you find it difficult to beat it.

The best way to beat inflation since 2009 has demonstrably been to buy bitcoin and hold it for at least one cycle. Gold, which has been the quintessential hedge against inflation, has recently been rising in price while bitcoin has suffered a downturn and has not just recovered, but I am sure that over the next 4 years the return of bitcoin will far exceed that of gold.
