How Inflation Silently Eats Your Money

If you saved ₦100,000 last year. 

Today, that same ₦100,000 can’t buy the same basket of groceries or even fill your fuel tank the way it used to.

That’s inflation—the silent thief that reduces your money’s value while you’re not looking.

Let’s break down what it means for your money and how you can fight back with Ladda by MoneyAfrica.

What Exactly Is Inflation?

Inflation simply means prices are rising.

When food, transport, rent, and even basic services cost more, your ₦100,000 today won’t go as far tomorrow.

So even if your money stays the same in your account, its purchasing power is shrinking.

It’s like running on a treadmill—you’re moving, but not getting anywhere.

How Inflation Affects Your Savings

Most savings accounts pay 3%–6% interest per year, but inflation in Nigeria has been over 20% lately.

That means your money is losing value in real terms.

You might think your money is safe, but every month, prices climb and your savings can’t keep up.

How Inflation Impacts Investments

Inflation also affects the real value of your investment returns.

If you earn 12% from an investment but inflation is 20%, your real return is –8%.

But not all assets suffer the same fate:

Stocks and real estate often adjust with inflation.

Treasury bills and bonds may lag unless rates rise.

Holding cash long-term is the worst option—it loses value fastest.

So, what’s the smart move?

You don’t need to be an expert—you just need a strategy that keeps your money growing faster than inflation.

That’s where Ladda comes in.
