011 – Why Your Money Loses Value Every Single Day

Listen Later

We’ve got some bad news for you.

You know that money you have sitting in the bank? The money you worked really hard to earn?

Tomorrow, it’s going to be worth less than it is today. And the day after that, it’ll be worth even less. Eventually as the days, months, and years pass if it stays in the bank it’ll eventually become worthless (dramatization).

This is an uncomfortable realization for most people. The idea that the longer you hold on to your money, the less it’s worth. What’s even more uncomfortable is the fact that the entire economic system is actually setup to make your money lose value over time.

So what do you do? Throw caution to the wind and spend it all before it’s worthless? Not exactly.
