💰 The illusion of wealth vs. the reality of inflation
A famous influencer took 7 years to save his first $100K.
Then, in just 3 years, he reached $200K.
And in less than 1 year, he hit $300K.
📈 "The bigger the cake, the faster it grows!"
💡 Compound interest + increased contributions = WEALTH
But here’s the problem: over those 11 years, the State STOLE at least 50% of his purchasing power.
In reality, that $300K today is worth only $150K in 2014 terms.
And if we look at it in dollars, it gets even scarier:
$100K in 2014 = $45K
$300K in 2025 = $50K
In other words, 11 years to “get richer” by just $5K.
📉 Dollar inflation from 2014 to 2025: 33.5%
Today’s $50K is only worth $33.5K in 2014 terms.
In the end, 11 years to become $11.5K poorer.
Inflation is the invisible tax that destroys your wealth.
