RT Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ (@shanaka86)The hidden punchline in your table … the CPI of life (house + healthcare + college) compounds faster than cash.Implied from your numbers (1990→2024):• Housing: ~2.6× price rise ⇒ ~2.8%/yr• Healthcare: ~4.0× ⇒ ~4.2%/yr• College: ~6.5× ⇒ ~5.7%/yr• Money-market: ~2.56× ⇒ 2.8%/yr• Gold: ~6.84× ⇒ 5.8%/yrSo a saver riding money-markets roughly kept up with generic CPI, but fell behind the “life basket” that actually matters (tuition, care, shelter).
