Silver – the Simple Solution to Beating Inflation!

Why protecting your wealth from inflation matters

How Silver Bullion Protects Your Wealth from Inflation

What is it that constantly eats away at our wealth, making a mockery of all the hard work we do budgeting and trying to avoid it? Yes, of course, it is inflation!

Inflation relentlessly reminds us that the Rands we hold today simply won’t buy as much tomorrow… but there is a solution — investing in silver bullion…

What if it is not paper currency we are holding onto, but something more solid and tangible – something that eats inflation for breakfast because its own value grows faster than it? Well, there is such a thing – Silver – the Simple Solution to Beating Inflation!

What is the Simple Solution that Silver Bullion Offers to Fight Inflation?

In a great video we sourced from Silver Alliance, a silver and other precious metals expert and American markets analyst, she talks in Dollar terms about inflation over the last 55 years and shows why and how Silver bullion has maintained and grown its value as the Dollar has declined with inflation.

Although this is an American-based commentary and the figures are given in dollars, I’m sure that we can agree that SA has suffered the same (or possibly worse) kind of inflation. Let’s look at an example that this market analyst gives in her own words….

‘’Back in 1970, a week’s worth of groceries for a family of three cost about $35. At the same time, silver was trading around $1.80 an ounce. In other words, you could buy those groceries with roughly 20 one-ounce silver coins.

Fast forward to today. Thanks to more than five decades of inflation, that same cart of groceries now costs around $170, and coincidentally, $170 is about what it also costs to buy a single one-ounce Silver Eagle today directly from the U.S. Mint.

How Inflation Reduces the Purchasing Power of Money

So what’s happened here? Over the last 55 years, the price of groceries has gone from $35 to $170. That’s because the purchasing power of the dollar has steadily eroded. A dollar today simply doesn’t buy what it used to. The dollar lost 8% of its purchasing power over the past half-century, while silver preserved it and then some.

That’s what inflation does to paper currency. It slowly steals your savings, and that’s why so many ‘stackers’ (individuals who systematically accumulate and hold physical precious metals) choose to hold at least some of their wealth in physical silver and gold instead of leaving everything in dollars.’’
