Inflation is not a market event. It is a life event.
A fixed 1 Crore may sound like a large amount today. But at 6% inflation, its purchasing power steadily declines:
5 Years → ₹74.7 lakh
10 Years 55.8 lakh ←
20 Years ₹31.2 lakh
30 Years ← 17.4 lakh
40 Years → ₹9.7 lakh
↑50 Years → ₹5.4 lakh
The biggest risk to wealth is often not market volatility-it is losing purchasing power silently over time.
Saving helps preserve money. Long-term investing aims to help money keep pace with inflation an
d future expenses.
