MONEY & MARKETS • PURCHASING POWER & INFLATION
The CPI report landed at 3.4% on Friday. The Fed starts its two-day meeting today, and there’s an 85% chance they hike rates tomorrow for the first time since July 2023. But step back from the meeting and look at what’s already happened. Since January 2021, cumulative inflation has chewed through 21.9% of your dollar’s purchasing power. If you had $100,000 sitting in a savings account, a money market, a CD… it lost $21,911 in real value. Not from a bad trade. From the currency itself.
Where should you invest $100 right now?
Elon Musk just invented and patented this new AI technology…
And he's predicting it will launch a NEW industry that will grow more than 7 million percent in the coming years.
Even if he's only 10% right, that would still be enough to grow $100 into more than $700,000.
Nobody sent you a statement for that $21,911 — it vanished one grocery trip, one tank of gas, one electric bill at a time.
