Your Dollar’s Dying—But Your Boss Just Got Richer.
You ever wonder how your CEO just bought a third house… while you’re budgeting groceries more tightly than ever?
It’s not a coincidence. It’s a system.
Since 2020, the dollar has quietly lost over 18% of its real-world purchasing power.
That’s the official line.
But here’s what the official line doesn’t say:
Your rent’s up 31%
Groceries up 26%
Your paycheck? Flat. Maybe worse.
Meanwhile…
Fortune 500 executives saw a 34% rise in total compensation
Congressional net worth has nearly doubled
Private equity billionaires are buying entire zip codes
All while your savings bleed value like a punctured tire.
So what’s going on?
The Loopholes They’ll Never Mention on CNBC
While you’re taxed on every dollar you earn, the elites are gaming inflation.
How?
Here’s just a taste:
Stock Buyback Magic. The Fed prints. Corporations borrow cheap. Then buy their own stock, pumping executive options through the roof—while layoffs “reduce expenses.”
Debt-as-Income. Many insiders don’t “sell” assets—they borrow against them. No taxes. No paper trail. Just free cash, while the dollar falls.
Hard Asset Hedging. While you’re told to “diversify your 401(k),” they’re scooping up farmland, art, private credit, and offshore storage vaults.
Here’s the Trap for Everyone Else
You’re paid in dollars.
You save in dollars.
You’re taxed in dollars.
But the people making the rules?
They’re quietly divesting from dollars—in real time.
So what can you do?
You don’t need millions to get ahead of this.
But you do need to:
Stop saving like it’s 1995
Understand how elites store value (and borrow against it)
Own the things the Fed can’t print
This game is rigged.
But you’re not powerless.
You just haven’t seen the playbook.
