minus-squareandyburke@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up32·8 days ago$357M in 2019 dollars is >$450M in 2026 dollars. So uh, yeah, not really close…
minus-squareRyanDownyJr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·8 days agoIt’s depressing to see how almost a hundred million dollars in value changes in 7 years…
minus-squareWhatAmLemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·edit-28 days agoIt’s not supposed to, but even the target interest rate of 2% per annum is ridiculous when you think about it. It means $1 = $1.20 after a decade, and after 50 years $1 = $2.70. 357(1.02)^7 = 410 M so we’re actually almost double the target.
minus-squareLastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 days agoASSUMING your salary goes up with inflation, which is the idea… You bought a house with 2026 money. You’re still paying that same mortgage with 2046 money. 20 years of inflation, but your debt remains the same (as you pay it off) If everything is functioning as intended, inflation encourages debt and spending, which drives the economy.
minus-squareandyburke@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 days agoOk, but your assumption is demonstrably untrue on average for about the last 50 years or so.
