Introduction to the Modern World of the Stock market - Alex Smith - Bog

Do you know what happens when the inflation rate is more than the interest you earn on your savings? YOU LOSE MONEY.
Currently, the top rate you can earn from a nationally available savings account in the U.S. is 0.50%. On the one hand, this means that saving $10,000 will leave you with $10,511 after ten years-a mere 5% increase. On the other hand, with the inflation rate at 6.2%, this means that you are losing 5.7% of your money every year in real terms.
Inflation hurts savers because it erodes the purchasing power of the money they save. So, if your goal is to increase your wealth, you need to pay attention to investments that can help you beat inflation. And such investments are plentiful in the stock market. For example, the S&P 500 has delivered an annualized 10.7% growth rate for the last 30 years. This means that investing $10,000 in a fund that tracks the S&P 500 will leave you with $27,636 after ten years-a whopping 176% increase.
As you can see, unlike what most people believe, participating in the stock market is one of the best ways to grow your wealth and beat inflation. But to do so successfully, you need to educate yourself on how the stock market works.
