3. How Inflation Quietly Erodes Your Savings

Let’s put it into perspective:
- Year 0: $10,000 saved
- Year 1: 3% inflation → purchasing power drops to $9,709
- Year 5: Falls to ~$8,637
- Year 10: Now worth only ~$7,409
You do not have to “see” inflation—its effect builds silently over time, but it is real and cumulative.
