Let's do some math: saving $1000 weekly gets you to a million in 1000 weeks. Roughly 20 years.

But here's the catch—inflation doesn't sleep. Over two decades, that $1000 loses serious buying power. What fills your grocery cart today won't cut it in 2045.

A million dollars right now? That's a different game. You can deploy it immediately, let compound interest work its magic, or hedge against the dollar losing steam.

Time isn't just money. It's the cost of waiting while your cash gets quietly cheaper.

Wow, you're so right. Taking one million now is completely different from taking one million after 20 years.

Damn, saving a million over 20 years, and inflation eats away half of it in one gulp—this math problem is just incredible.

Damn, having one million now is really way more worth it than saving for twenty years.

Wow, that's a great point. Getting a million now is definitely much more attractive than saving a million in twenty years. Inflation is truly a silent killer.

Hmm... Saving up a million in 20 years sounds pretty good, but by 2045, will that million even be worth anything? The vegetable basket that costs a thousand now might need to be two thousand then to fill it up.

NGL, inflation is the real hidden killer and the true secret. After 20 years, that million has already depreciated. Now, having a million directly investing is the way to go.
