I hope you guys are putting money into tangible goods that either have some appreciative value or something transferable that's not stock market or bank-related (401k's, mutual funds, savings accounts, etc.)
Because the dollar's future ain't lookin' too bright right now, and the stock market hasn't even kept up with inflation.
Remember when you were deciding whether or not you should buy that classic car a decade ago? You should have bought it.
You can think you're 'saving' when you're not really saving anything - except blips on computer screen and fancy green paper.
Dude, what are you talking about??? The dollar is one of the strongest currencies world wide. The reason it isn't stronger is because the Fed is holding it down with quantitative easing.
Inflation in the US is typically 2-3%. This year inflation is virtually non-existent (which is why the Fed is suppressing the dollar -- to encourage more inflation) whereas the stock market is up over 20% this year. Most years, the stock market outperforms inflation in the US by at least double.
You should spend some time reading and learning from credible sources and maybe you wouldn't say something as naieve as you did here.
