RE: Saving in the bank: security or silent loss?
Certainly, inflationary pressure is one of the causes of the disaster where, no matter how much one saves, the money we leave in banks seems to be worth less and less each day.
Your example of the bucket of water with a hole in the bottom is quite illustrative; definitely, if the interest paid by the bank is so far below the erosion caused by inflation, then it's inevitable that leaving money in a bank account will be a loss, and this is very noticeable in the medium and long term.
Looking to protect savings in precious metals, real estate, stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, or other assets makes a lot of sense in this context. It's up to each individual to do their own research and decide for themselves which options are best for them.
The worst thing anyone can do is keep their money in banks, not generating any income. This is especially true when we're talking about currencies like those of our Latin American countries, which lose value rapidly. Thank you for your support.
You're welcome!
