I always tell everyone...money in a savings account is the worst thing you could do. You could buy about anything you can touch and feel and be better off.
The US Dollar has lost -23% of its purchasing power since 2020.
In other words, if your assets are up +30% since 2020, you have effectively just broken even in real terms.
Inflation has now been above the Fed's 2% target for 60-straight months, and the bond market knows this.
Own assets or be left behind.
