đ§đ° Your Money IS Melting â Hereâs How to Stop It
If youâre working harder than ever and somehow feel like youâre falling behind â this oneâs for you. (A MUCH longer post than I would usually like - but it all needs to be said) âBro, my house went up $150K!â Cool story bro. Except... it didnât go up â your money went down. Youâre not getting richer. AT ALL... Youâre being robbed slower than everyone else. đ The $150K âProfitâ That Wasnât Back in 2019, gold was around $1,400 an ounce. Today? $3,912. That $350K house you bought back then? It was worth about 250 ounces of gold. Sell it today for $500K? Thatâs 128 ounces. Made $150K? NO You lost 122 ounces of gold â $477,864 of real buying power. FACK Thatâs inflationâs favorite trick â make you "feel" rich while it empties your pockets in slow motion. Kinda like being in a sauna bragging about how much weight youâre losing⊠not realizing itâs just sweat. đž The âRaiseâ That Was Really a Pay Cut In 2019, you made $50,000 â worth 35.7 ounces of gold. Fast-forward to now â maybe youâre at $61,652. Nice little bump, right? At todayâs gold price, thatâs a measly 15.8 ounces.. WTF?!?! Where did your 19.9 ounces go?!?! thats almost 78K man! Pay attention.... If your paycheck had actually kept its dollar value buying power, youâd be making $139,688 ARE YOU?!?! You didnât move up the damn ladder Just Feels like you did You climbed 5 stories... as it was lowered by 15... would you clap because your parachute "kind of" opened?? thats whats happening now - as you fall faster and faster... Your âraiseâ was a participation ribbon for playing the poverty game politely. Do I have your attention now?? Gets more sobering.... đŠ Even Your âSafeâ Money is Quietly Drowning Lets say you have $50K in a 401(k) or savings? In 2019, that was 35.7 ounces of gold. Today, itâs 12.7. You lost 23 ounces â about $90,000 of buying power â while doing everything the :experts" told you was a âsmart. moveâ The real slap? had you parked that same $50K in gold instead of melting cashâŠ(boring AS HELL)
