Inflation lens
What will your cash really buy?
Prices creep up every year, so the same banknote buys a little less each time. Set a sum, a rate and a horizon to watch it happen.
Yearly inflation
Buying power left
$7,089
−29.1%
- Needed to keep pace $14,106
- Value halves in 20.1 yrs
- Morning coffee $5.00 $7.05
- Weekly groceries $150 $212
- Monthly rent $1,800 $2,539
A simple illustration: one fixed inflation rate every year, compounded annually. Real prices rise unevenly and some goods climb far faster than others.
AI, chips, platforms and the cash behind them

Money habits
Small rules, big results.
Headlines move every minute; good habits barely move at all. Plain-language basics for everyday savers — general information, not personal advice.
-
Pay yourself first
Set the transfer to savings for the morning your salary arrives. Money you never see is money you rarely miss.
-
Let time do the lifting
Divide 72 by your yearly return to estimate how long money takes to double. Starting early beats starting big.
-
Hunt down the fees
A one-percent yearly charge looks tiny, yet over decades it can swallow a large slice of what you earn.
-
Keep a rainy-day fund
Three to six months of costs in cash means a broken boiler never forces you to sell at the wrong moment.
-
Own the haystack
Rather than searching for the one winning needle, a broad index fund simply owns the whole haystack.
-
Kill expensive debt
Clearing a card that charges 20% interest is a guaranteed return no market can promise you.
-
Sit tight in storms
Markets’ best days tend to arrive right after their worst. Selling in a panic often means missing the rebound.
-
Rebalance on a schedule
Once a year, trim what grew too big and top up what shrank. A calendar works better than a crystal ball.
