Cash that sits still loses. That's not a vibe — that's the math. In this clip we get into what inflation actually does to your savings, and why investing is how you fight back.

Malcolm and Thomas break down the impact of inflation on money that never gets put to work, why a retirement plan that ignores inflation is a plan that shrinks, and the bigger backdrop: global debt and what that pile means for regular people. If the long-term investing clip was mindset, this one is the cost of waiting — savings, retirement, and a debt load that doesn't stay on someone else's books.
