Understanding Inflation Impact

Purchasing Power: Inflation reduces how much goods and services your money can buy over time
Real vs Nominal: Real value accounts for inflation, nominal value doesn't
Investment Planning: Your investments need to beat inflation to grow real wealth
Rule of 72: Divide 72 by inflation rate to know when purchasing power halves (72/6 = 12 years)
Long-term Impact: Even moderate inflation significantly reduces purchasing power over decades
