Inflation and the Erosion of Wealth
Inflation has a direct impact on the purchasing power of your wealth. As the general price level of goods and services rises, the value of each unit of currency decreases. This means that the money you have today will buy fewer goods and services in the future.

Nevertheless, I spent the last week doing a deep dive into the historical income difference in the workforce as a whole but also with a special focus on healthcare. A field that I am intimately familiar with.
