💸 What Is Inflation? Why Won't ₹100,000 Today Be Worth the Same in 10 Years?
Imagine you have ₹100,000 in your bank account.
Ten years later, the balance is still ₹100,000.
Sounds like nothing changed, right?
Not quite.
You've lost something important: purchasing power.
Inflation is the gradual increase in the prices of goods and services over time.
That means the same amount of money buys less in the future.
🍛 For example, if a meal costs ₹250 today, it could cost around ₹370 in 10 years with an average inflation rate of 4% per year.
Your money doesn't disappear but its value slowly does.
That's why building wealth isn't just about saving money. It's also about helping your money grow faster than inflation.
