Why Your Money Buys Less Every Year (And What You Can Do About It)
There’s a silent thief in your wallet.
It doesn’t break into your home. It doesn’t show up on your payslip. But every single year, it robs you of purchasing power.
That thief is called inflation.
The Decline of Purchasing Power
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: your money buys less every year because governments and central banks deliberately devalue it.
In the UK, £100 in 1990 buys just £43 worth of goods today.
In the U.S., $100 in 1990 buys just $47 worth today.
That’s not “progress.” That’s theft through policy.
Why Inflation Isn’t an Accident
They want you to believe inflation is an unfortunate side effect.
It’s not.
Inflation is policy. It’s how governments pay for endless borrowing and reckless spending. They print money, you lose value.
Your “savings account” with 2% interest doesn’t stand a chance against 6–10% real inflation on food, energy, and housing.
It’s a rigged game. And you’re not supposed to win.
Rising prices of everyday essentials.
Why Your Bank Balance Is a Mirage
You look at your account and think, “I’ve got £10,000 saved.”
But here’s the reality: that £10,000 today buys half of what it did 20 years ago.
The number looks the same. The value doesn’t.
And when governments create trillions of new dollars, pounds, or euros with a keystroke, the value of what you’ve saved shrinks even further.
What You Can Do About It
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay trapped.
For 5,000 years, gold and silver have protected wealth through wars, recessions, and currency collapses.
They can’t be printed.
They can’t default.
They don’t rely on government promises.
They don’t make you rich overnight, but they preserve your purchasing power when everything else fails.
Potential Takeaways…
Your money buys less every year because the system is designed that way.
But you can step outside the system. You can insure yourself with assets that last — assets that governments can’t print away.
Because history is clear: currencies always fail. Gold and silver always survive.
