In 1950, $1 could snag you what costs about $13.33 today. Fast forward to 2000, and that same buck buys what now goes for $1.87 😐 That means a dollar from '50 is like a mere 7.5 cents now, and a 2000 dollar? Roughly 53.5 cents! 📉 The dollar has taken quite the hit—over 90% of its value since '50 and nearly half since 2000. Spoiler alert: inflation isn’t going anywhere! 💵 That dollar in your pocket today will eventually feel like half its worth in purchasing power. Stashing cash long-term? You might as well be burying it in the backyard. When it comes to assets, prices will climb if they’re scarce, useful, in demand, and not perishable ↗️
