How does inflation affect me

Inflation affects you by decreasing the purchasing power of your money. As prices for goods and services rise, each dollar you have buys less than it used to, reducing your standard of living. Inflation can also lead to higher interest rates, which can impact borrowing costs for items like homes and cars. Additionally, inflation can impact investments, as the real value of fixed-income investments may decrease over time.

The effects of inflation are often not directly felt but are played out over a long time, especially long-term investments are vulnerable to inflation.
