Saving Money Is Costing You 7% a Year (Here's the Math)

There is a right way and a wrong way to think about saving vs investing, and most people get it wrong. In this video I break down the actual difference between the two, the two hidden costs of leaving cash in a checking or savings account, and why "compound disinterest" quietly destroys your purchasing power over 20 years. I also cover where your money should actually sit if you want to stay risk off (money market funds and Treasuries), when a savings account makes sense, and how to think about risk on assets like stocks once you get the basics right. If you have a large pile of cash sitting in a bank account, this one is for you. Drop your questions in the comments and send this to someone who needs it.
