When I told Becca & Nikki their money could grow to $1.6M, they looked disappointed. Then I showed them the truth: In their bank account, it would actually be almost $3.9M.
Nikki didn’t understand — and she’s not alone. This is one of the most common misconceptions people have about money.
Here’s the reality: $1.6M in today’s money = $3.9M in the future. It’s the same thing, adjusted for inflation.
That’s why I always run both numbers — so you’re not misled by what your statement says versus what that money is really worth.
