This is why we invest. In one chart.
Over the last 10 years, our purchasing power has dropped by 24.17% due to inflation.

Over the last 10 years, our purchasing power has dropped by 24.17% due to inflation. This means our dollars are worth less by about a quarter.
During the same period, the trailing cumulative return of the S&P500 is +168.1%.
There is no one way to invest.
Whether it’s stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, or investing in your ability to earn more income, the point is to invest.
Invest early, invest often.
Cheers to hedging inflation,
