Are You Getting Richer or Poorer?
In today's economic landscape, the divide between the rich and the poor is becoming increasingly stark. The rich continue to amass wealth, while the poor and middle class struggle to keep up. But why is this happening?
One of the biggest reasons behind this growing wealth gap is the existence of fake money—currency that is continuously printed and devalued by central banks. This system benefits the wealthy while making life more difficult for the poor and middle class.
How Fake Money Works
Fake money, or fiat currency, is money that is not backed by a tangible asset like gold. Central banks can print unlimited amounts of it, leading to inflation. This benefits the rich because:
Asset prices rise – When more money is printed, it devalues the currency, making assets like real estate, gold, and stocks more expensive. The rich, who already own these assets, see their wealth grow.
Debt becomes cheaper – The wealthy use debt to acquire more assets. Inflation reduces the real value of debt over time, making it easier for them to profit.
The poor and middle class suffer – Prices of necessities like food, gas, and housing rise faster than wages, making it harder for regular people to afford their basic needs.
The Problem with Saving Fake Money
Many people believe that saving money in banks will make them financially secure. However, savers of fake money are actually losing purchasing power due to inflation. If inflation is 10% per year, and your savings only earn 2% interest, you are effectively losing 8% of your wealth annually.
What Can You Do?
Instead of saving fake money, consider holding real money—assets that hold their value over time. These include:
Gold – A historically proven store of value.
Silver – A more affordable precious metal that also holds intrinsic value.
Bitcoin – A decentralized digital asset that is deflationary by nature and resistant to government manipulation.
The Rich Don’t Work for Money
In many of my books and discussions, I emphasize that the rich do not work for money—they make money work for them. They invest in assets that appreciate in value while leveraging debt and inflation to their advantage. Meanwhile, those who work hard for a paycheck and save fake money find themselves falling behind.
If you want to get richer, it’s time to rethink your financial strategy. Stop saving fake money and start accumulating real assets. The future of your financial well-being depends on it.
