The Silent Wealth Killer
Inflation is the rate at which the price of goods and services rises over time. If your money is in a Savings Bank account earning 3% while Inflation is 6%, you are effectively **losing 3% wealth every year**.
Real Rate of Return
This is the only number that matters. Real Return = ((1 + Return) / (1 + Inflation)) - 1
Always aim for a positive Real Return to actually grow rich.
