The Bigger Picture: Your Money Has to Move
Inflation rewards those who move their money wisely and punishes those who don’t. It’s that simple.
If you’ve been parking your savings in the same low-yield account for years, you’re not just standing still — you’re moving backward. The dollar is dynamic, and your strategy has to be too.
So think of October as your financial reset month. Take an hour this weekend to:
-
Check your current APY.
-
Compare rates online (Investopedia’s lists are a good start).
-
Open a new account if needed.
-
Automate a transfer from your main bank.
That one hour could be the difference between letting inflation eat your money — or using inflation to earn more.
