What it means in practice
If today 100 euros buys a certain basket of goods, in a few years the same basket may cost more.
Your current account may show the same number, but that number buys fewer things.
Why investors should care
The real goal is not only having more money, but maintaining or increasing real purchasing power.
That changes how you evaluate returns, risk and time horizon.
Common mistake
Holding too much cash for years while thinking it is always prudence.
True prudence is having an adequate emergency fund and investing the capital that fits the timing of your goals.
Qué hacer ahora
Separate your emergency fund from capital to invest today: it is the step that turns inflation from something you suffer into something you manage.
