The Disastrous and Damaging Effects of Inflation: What You Can Do to Hedge!
Episode description
Inflation happens when the value of your money goes down - you can buy fewer goods and services with it now than before. Inflation is a natural result of having an economy that runs on currency instead of bartering or other methods that don't require currency.
How does inflation happen?Inflation happens when the government prints more money into circulation - too much money supply means that each unit (dollar, pound, euro) is worth less.
Inflation is a silent killer in the sense that it happens so gradually. Over such an extended period, we don't notice how much damage inflation causes to our standard of living until it has already happened. The problem with this lack of awareness about inflation is that we don't take actions to prevent the damage of inflation.
