APAKAH ITU INFLASI DAN KENAPA KITA HARUS MEMAHAMINYA?

Biasa kan, orang tanya simpan emas untung tak? Jawapannya, tidak untung tapi kalis inflasi sahaja... 100 tahun dahulu, harga untuk satu set baju formal adalah $20.65 atau bersamaan dengan 1 oz emas. Sekarang tahun 2019, walaupun harga emas naik 70 kali ganda, 1 oz emas masih boleh digunakan untuk beli satu set baju formal. APA MAKSUDNYA? Nilai emas itu dikekal selama 100 lebih tahun. Cuba bayangkan jika anda simpan $20.65 dalam bank untuk 100 tahun sampai sekarang, bolehkah anda masih beli satu set baju formal? WHAT IS INFLATION AND WHY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT? People often ask, can you make a profit from buying gold? The answer is, not really but it works wonders when it comes to hedging against inflation. 100 years ago, a 2 piece suit cost $20.65 or equivalent to 1 oz. of gold. It is now 2019, even though the price of gold has went up 70 times, 1 oz of gold can still be used to purchase a 2 piece suit. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? The value of of gold has remained for more than a 100 years. Just imagine, if you were to save that $20.65 in a bank or Fixed Deposit for a 100 years, do you think you would still be able to purchase a 2 piece suit?
