The US Dollar. It is just as hard to save one in 1974, 1999, or 2022. The act of saving is a mind set and not a conscious act. Once you start leaving some extra money set aside every day, week, month and year it is simply loving yourself enough to do what is necessary to make a purchase more than you earn. Saving is not osmethin you put off.
Except it feels like for every two dollars I am saving today, they are worth one tomorrow.

The thing with saving money now is, unless you are earning 8% or greater on your savings your losing value. In the 1970’s, when inflation started to ramp up, a Money Market deposit would eventually pay 10% or more. Now it’s not even 2%.
