Which of these economic situations would you prefer to find yourself in?
A- Your salary is stagnant but prices fall. Where this happens, your real purchasing power has increased. It's called constructive deflation. And even if your salary falls, but prices fall faster, you are still ahead.
B- Having your savings taxed 2%+ a year by inflation.

Of course, everybody is going to pick the 1st option. Like... This isn't even debatable, there's nothing good or cool about the second option. Unless you're literally living in such an economic situation in reality.
Having your savings taxed by 2%+ every year wouldn't be that bad if instead of saving, you invested. Now that's gonna turn your inflated savings into a (deflated) asset. The value of your money would increase, and you would be able to spend more/ buy more. So, the second option isn't that bad if you utilize your money properly.
