      Is Your Portfolio and Retirement Safe from the Devasting Damage of Inflation?

      Investors need to be aware that inflation damage compounds over time. We have undergone a secular change, and inflation will continue to move up over the medium term.Inflation has slowed from its 9.1% high in June 2022, but it has reaccelerated to 3.5% from the 3.0% low in June 2023.If you had $1,000,000 in cash in March 2021, the purchasing power of that would only be $848,445.Federal government spending is out of control, which has continued to fuel inflation. Driven by increasing interest expenses and spending, we expect a $2 trillion deficit for 2024.The Fed has been complicit.
