Very modest amount of savings, from the third world. Everything seems from fucked to very fucked and just seems like you would tie your interests with that of Capital like private pensions do

So from a US perspective your best bet would be a High Yield Savings Account to protect from inflation while still being able to access it for a regular expense such as rent. However, I can't really speak to what's available in your region, and regardless you're still unlikely to out-earn what you withdraw for rent.
