The math of depreciation: The Rule of 72
There is a simple mathematical rule: to understand how many years it will take for your money to lose half its value, divide 72 by the inflation rate. At 6% inflation, your savings will lose half their purchasing power in just 12 years.
This isn't just statistics; it's the effective robbery of your future consumption.
Many are proud that they have saved a "nice round sum," but in a decade, that amount will be equivalent to the price of a few grocery baskets. Compound interest doesn't just work for investments; it works for inflation, destroying capital imperceptibly but methodically.
