Over ten years, $10,000 in gold became $33,000.
If you were in Treasury bills, it became about $12,800 (WITH interest reinvested).
BUT GOLD DOESN'T PAY 5.5% INTEREST.
Yep, because the point is purchasing power.
Not admiring your interest payments while prices rose 37% and your $12,800 now buys less than your original $10,000 did 😂
