Why 'Safe' Savings Are Destroying Your Wealth Explained

Описание: Everyone tells you to save money in the bank. But what if that “safe” choice is actually making you poorer? 📉

In this video, we break down the math of purchasing power and why inflation is the silent tax on your savings. You might see the numbers in your account go up, but the amount of groceries you can buy is going down. 🛒

We explore the difference between volatility risk and purchasing power risk, and use the Rule of 72 to show exactly when your cash will lose half its value. ⏳ Finally, we look at the “Nominal Trap” of high-interest rates and how taxes make it even harder to win with cash.

Stop hoarding and start investing to protect your future wealth. 💰 Let’s redefine what safety really means. 🚀
