Banks pay less than 1% interest while the dollar loses 3% of its purchasing power annually, according to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This gap means your cash is slowly transferring wealth to real asset owners. In the 1970s, the dollar lost 50% of its value and gold jumped from $35 to over $800.
