Frequently asked questions
How does inflation erode savings?
If your investments return less than inflation, your purchasing power shrinks even as the account balance grows. What matters is the real return, net of inflation.
How can I protect savings from inflation?
Regulated savings accounts absorb part of it; equities and property have historically beaten inflation over long periods. Above all, avoid leaving large sums on non-interest accounts.
