Inflation as a Silent Tax

Inflation is highlighted as a significant threat to finances, described as a silent tax that erodes spending power annually. An illustrative example is provided with the comparison of the price of a gold coin in 1971 versus 2024, exhibiting a steep increase in cost. The mechanism behind inflation, attributed to government actions like printing new money, is explained, leading to a decrease in the value of existing money in the economy. The impact of excessive money printing post-March 2020 is emphasized, underlining how it diminishes the value of money and aids in paying off debts.
