Frequently asked questions
What is inflation?
A general rise in prices over time, so each unit of money buys less than before. A return only increases your buying power if it is higher than inflation.
What is the difference between nominal and real return?
The nominal return is the growth on your statement. The real return subtracts inflation and shows how much more you can actually buy.
Why does cash lose to inflation?
Cash and basic savings often pay less than the rate prices rise, so the balance may grow while its buying power shrinks.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is an illustrative game with made-up yearly returns. Real returns and inflation vary.
