Compound interest huh? How about compound inflation? Will that $3M buy what it could at retirement as it did when the person started saving? No way!!

47 yrs ago a dollar went a long way, now not so much. Why? Weve had inflation almost EVERY year since the damn 30's that why.

Theres a huge difference between nominal returns (on paper) and real returns (purchasing power after inflation). Can I get some real deflation please!

Placing that $100 a month in a minimum rate, variable rate savings account will more than enough cover the inflation, with is around 1.5-2% a year. What's your point?
