You need to look at your overall spending habits to figure out the best credit card rewards for you. That's because many rewards credit cards offer a higher rate of return when you spend a lot in a specific category, like groceries or gas.

One way to beat inflation is to focus on companies that continuously raise their dividends, such as the "Dividend Aristocrats." This gives you a stream of income that rises as fast as the cost of living.
