"So now let's do some basic math. Let's assume that a cart of your basic groceries today costs $100. But instead of going out and spending that money, you take that $100, you go to the bank and you deposit this $100 in your savings account. So instead of spending the $100 at the grocery store, you save that $100. What happens after one year? Well, if the average savings rate is 2.4%, 4%. That would mean that that same cart of groceries with the exact same stuff is going to cost you not $100, but now $102.40, assuming that we believe the reported inflation numbers. But that $100 that you saved in the bank is also going to grow. And the average interest rate on a savings account is 0.6% 6% which means your savings would grow to $10060"
