Rising Inflation

Inflation refers to the rising cost of goods and services over time. While a little inflation is normal, high inflation can dramatically reduce what your money can buy—especially if your income doesn’t rise with it.

For example, $100 today won’t buy you the same groceries, gas, or rent a decade from now. That’s inflation at work. If your savings aren’t growing faster than inflation, you're essentially losing money in slow motion.

This is why investing matters. By putting your money to work in assets that outpace inflation—like stocks, real estate, or tax-advantaged accounts—you protect your future purchasing power and financial freedom.
