The Illusion of Bank Account Balance

Your bank account balance is a total lie. That number might look safe,

but inflation is actively eating your purchasing power every single day.

It’s the difference between Actual Dollars, which is just the face value, and Real Dollars,

which is what you can actually buy. Think about it—in 2008, Zimbabwe hit 200

million percent inflation. That is not a typo. If your savings interest rate isn't

higher than the inflation rate, you aren't saving money; you are technically losing it.

Stop looking at the price tag and start calculating the real value, or you’ll go broke

thinking you’re rich.
