I'd buy stock in Microsoft. They are not going away within five years and I can't think of a better bet for something I can't change for five years.

What do I care, it's money I wouldn't have otherwise so if it loses value it's just less free money. Of course if I could find physical gold, platinum, or silver and that would meet the requirement I would do that instead.

That was my thought, but I think the OP's intent was to have it only be a market commodity, stock, or CD that is publicly traded and overseen by the establishment.

Owning real property, instead of worthless fiat paper isn't playing by the rules of this game. And I think that is the point. Which worthless paper is going to be least worthless in the long run...

Yep, that's why I went with Microsoft.

I might be able to do betterwith something else, but I can't spare time to look just for this little exercise.

What's my net worth?

The lower my net worth (including the value of future income), the less risk I should be willing to apply to that sum.
