I remember those ads on TV from the big banks. Back in the early '80s.

"You can retire... a MILL YON AIRE!"

They forgot to mention that a 1982 dollar would be worth about $3.45 in today's money. A million 2026 dollars are worth about $290K in 1982 money.

It is the effect of the 40 trillion debt. It translates into declined purchasing power.

When this thing goes boom, it is going to be epic I fear. In the stock market, the tulip bulb disasters of the 1600s is upon us.
