Article Excerpt:
“You’re losing to inflation every year,’ says Charles Sachs, a wealth manager at Kaufman Rossin Wealth in Miami. ‘Long term, inflation runs about 3 percent. So your money buys half as much in 20 years.’
In other words, leaving your money stuffed under your mattress creates a real risk that you’ll have significantly less purchasing power than if you had invested it. Calculating your real return helps you figure out what your future purchasing power is likely to be.”
