📖Real World Example
Example: If you have $10,000 today and deflation is 2% per year:
After 5 years
$11,041 buying power
Goods cost only $9,048
After 10 years
$12,190 buying power
Goods cost only $8,203
After 20 years
$14,859 buying power
Goods cost only $6,730
During deflation, waiting to buy becomes advantageous - but this can harm the economy!
