How does inflation impact your way to financial freedom?

India is experiencing high inflation, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaching 7.01% in May 2023, the highest since May 2014.

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money, making it challenging to buy the same amount of goods and services as before.

Inflation can erode the value of savings and investments, potentially making them insufficient to meet future needs.

Inflation leads to increased costs for essential items like food, housing, and healthcare, straining household budgets and delaying financial independence.

Inflation can drive up asset prices, like real estate, making it harder for individuals to afford or invest in such assets, hindering wealth-building.


Creating a budget and monitoring expenses help prioritize spending, cut unnecessary costs, and counter the impact of inflation.

 Investments in assets like stocks, bonds, or real estate can appreciate over time, offering a potential income source and protection against inflation.

Diversifying income streams through side businesses, freelancing, or passive investments can provide a cushion against rising prices.
