常见问题

What's the average historical inflation rate?

US average is ~3% over the long term. Recent years (2021-2023) saw 5-9% spikes. For planning, use 3% for conservative estimates, 4% for cautious planning.

Do I need to beat inflation to build wealth?

Yes. If inflation is 3% and your savings earn 2%, you're losing 1% purchasing power annually. Real wealth growth = nominal return - inflation rate.
