Inflation vs Growth

Introduction

Inflation silently eats away at savings. What looks safe in a bank account is actually shrinking in value. Investing is the shield that protects your money and allows it to grow faster than prices rise.

Proof

£10,000 in cash loses ~50% value in 20 years at 3% inflation. The same £10,000 in S&P 500 at 10% grows to ~£67,000.

Benefit

Investing is not optional — it's protection and opportunity in one.
