Your Money Is Broken. Here's Why You're Getting Poorer Every Day.

You work harder than your parents did. You earn more than they ever dreamed of. Yet somehow, you can't afford what they could.

Your salary goes up 3% a year. Your rent goes up 8%. Your groceries cost double what they did five years ago. You're told the economy is strong, unemployment is low, everything is fine.

But your bank account tells a different story. This isn't your fault. And it's not because you're bad with money. The money itself is broken.

Since 1971, every dollar you earn loses value the moment you earn it. The government prints more money whenever they need it. More money chasing the same goods means higher prices for everything you buy.

Your $100,000 salary today buys what $15,000 bought in 1971. Your parents bought houses for $25,000. Those same houses now cost $500,000. Not because houses got better. Because dollars got worse.

The math is simple and terrifying. The U.S. owes $37 trillion. Interest payments alone cost $1.2 trillion per year. That's money that has to come from somewhere. Where does it come from? They print it.

Every new dollar printed makes your existing dollars worth less. It's a hidden tax on everyone who saves money, earns a salary, or tries to build wealth the traditional way. Politicians promise to fix it.

They won't. They can't.

The system is designed to require more debt, more printing, more debasement. It's a mathematical certainty. The smart money already knows this.

That's why billionaires are buying Bitcoin, gold, and real estate. Things the government can't print more of. While you're told to save cash in a bank account earning 0.5% interest, inflation eats 8% of your purchasing power every year.

You're getting poorer by design. The wealthy understand something most people don't: in an inflationary system, debt is good and cash is trash.

They borrow cheap money to buy assets that go up in price. You save money that goes down in value.

This isn't financial advice. It's a wake-up call. The monetary system that built America is dying. What comes next will either make you wealthy or leave you behind.

The choice is yours to make. But the clock is ticking.
