My current plan is to do a consultation with Giotikas in late Spring then do surgery with him in the fall. Unsure how things might play out.
The very small APY of most bank accounts is not really helping. Don't want to put that money into stocks because afraid of volatility.
I'll be able to get a third covid shot before I go, and I hope it helps for new variants like omega.
"Hey, I doubled my money in six months due to that volatility. Be smart about when to buy and when to sell and you can do extremely well."
I am just learning about investing now. Until now, I've put my money in things like treasury bonds, CDs, savings accounts etc to just get a tiny bit of return b/c I had no idea how investing worked until a month or two ago. I will probably do LL next fall. Not much time, so I imagine for now it is back to shoving the 150k USD I have into series I bonds, savings accounts, and a tiny bit in crypto stablecoin savings accounts. What would you do?
Not sure how much I need liquid for Giotikas in total to be safe, maybe like 70 K USD of it to stay in savings accounts? What would you do?

My home currency is USD
Aside from food, what things LLers need are most hit by inflation and are things they can do something about?
What would you recommend I do when I go to Greece if I'm worried about inflation?
" I'm especially interested in Turkey right now coz of the incredible weak Turkish Lira. "
I heard about this. I wonder though- they usually just charge foreigners for cosmetic operations (hair transplants, etc) in Euros though right? Has the Turkish Lira crash really affected things?
How has the economic situation of the world affected your decisions?
Right now USD is pretty strong compared to the Euro, which helps me out.
On the other hand, all the living costs in Greece are going up in general which is bad.
Interest rates being so low is bad -> I get jack crap on my USA savings account
The SEC is shutting down crypto interest accounts for non-rich USA users
There is defi in crypto but I am a little bit afraid of it
I'm at wits end and am a bit worried about my original plans to do a second LL on tibias in 1-2 years if inflation gets worth. I paid for internal femurs but haven't gone to Athens yet and have about 90K USD left. What might you do?
Parihar is not much cheaper than Giotikas now for precise 2 unfortunately, though India living expenses are less (somewhat offset by higher ticket flight price and I'd have to pay for travel vaccines out of pocket)
