If you had £100,000 sitting in the bank back then, it would only buy about £80,000 worth of goods today — that’s a 20% loss in real value due to inflation.

Now, while bank savings accounts paid less than 1% interest per year, inflation averaged around 2.5–3%, meaning your money was silently losing value year after year.

But here’s the real kicker — during that same decade, the Nasdaq 100 index grew by almost 400%. In other words, money invested in the market didn’t just hold its value — it multiplied nearly five times.

And while most people trusted their banks to ‘keep their money safe’, the banks and professional traders were using that very same money to make those returns for themselves.

So while your money sleeps, someone else is making it work — for them.

It’s time to take control and make your money work for you instead.
