I’m not sure there can ever be a perfect value store. Because such a store is a future promise to “look after you”, but the world is so damn unpredictable! Food prices could soar, land prices too, etc. How does the perfect value store keep up or know what will happen? The impression I get is you need to invest in things that are short term risky and long term safeish like stocks to even attempt to store value. If you look at how pensions are usually reallocated from stocks to cash as you near retirement this is a clue. But even then who is to say the ratio of Vangard to 1 months rent or 1000 calories of nutritious food will be the same in 20 years time? Gold hasn’t performed too well over the last few years by the way.
