It’s not that prices are rising… it’s that the purchasing power of your money is declining. It’s an invisible thief, so to speak. With interest rates this low, cash sits in the savings account eroding in value, year after year. This is why we invest! To keep our money from eroding in value over long periods of time. It’s an opportunity to try and grow it. Having an emergency fund is fine, but keeping too much excess cash in savings can work against you. It’s like a water bucket with a small crack in it sitting in the lawn. You can’t see it, but the water is escaping.
