Can I Afford not to Invest?

$1 in 1995 = 50 cents today.
$1 invested = $19.

Ive seen athletes sign multi-million-dollar contracts and business owners exit for millions only to wonder why the money doesnt stretch as far as they thought.

The culprit isnt just spending.
Its inflation.

Over the past 30 years, the purchasing power of $1 has dropped to less than 50 cents.
But that same $1 invested in the SP 500? It grew into more than $19 after inflation.

Thats the power of ownership.

And this is exactly why you cant save your way to financial freedom.

With the level of debt we carry as a country, inflation isnt going away. Every idle dollar is quietly losing ground.

Just like on the field or in businessif youre not moving forward, youre falling behind.
The same is true with your money. It has to be in the game:
Globally diversified portfolio
Business equity
Real asset ownership
Compounding assets

Cash has a purposeit covers short-term needs and emergencies.
But long-term freedom comes from ownership.

The real question isnt: Can I afford to invest?
Its: Can I afford not to?
