🎁 The Gift That Disappeared… and Proved My Point 💸

This week, I walked into a store, excited to finally use a $250 gift card I had received a while ago.

It was a gift I got after giving a presentation on…

📉 Inflation and monetary debasement.

Yeah — the irony is coming…

I picked out what I wanted, walked to the cashier, and swiped the card.

She looked up and said:

“Sir… this card has a balance of $0.”

😳 Wait… what?!

I stood there confused.

I never used it.

I tucked it away in my room, planning to spend it later.

So I went to the 🏦 bank that issued the card.

The teller made a few calls and then came back with a straight face:

“We impose a $2.50 monthly fee after 12 months of inactivity.”

💥 Boom. There it was.

Month by month… the entire $250 vanished.

Not because I spent it.

Not because I lost it.

But because I stored it.

And suddenly, I realized:

This wasn’t just a gift card story.

This was the exact thing I teach about.

💸 Inflation is a silent leak.

It eats your wealth slowly.

You think you’re saving.

You think you’re safe.

But the system is draining you — quietly, monthly, unapologetically.

⸻

If you’re holding cash in the bank… you’re next.

You don’t feel it.

But every day, you’re becoming part of the 99% that lose.

Not because you’re lazy.

But because you don’t see how the machine really works.
