  1. 3% inflation sounds harmless. It isnt.

    £10,000 in cash is worth about £7,400 in real terms after 10 years at 3% inflation.

    That's roughly £2,600 of spending power gone while it sat 'safe'.

    Cash has its place. Ten years untouched is where it leaks though.

  9. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    And always, in our highly regularised way of life, [the modern man] is obsessed by thoughts of the morrow. Of all the precepts in the Gospels the one that Christians have most neglected is the commandment to take no thought for the morrow. If a man is prudent, thought for the morrow will lead him to save; if he is imprudent, it will make him apprehensive of being unable to pay his debts. In either case the moment loses its savour. Everything is organised, nothing is spontaneous.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Lecture (1949-01-09), “The Role of Individuality,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 3, BBC Radio

  10. Compound Interest: The Tool 19th-Century Factory Workers Did Not Have—and You Do

    Albert Einstein, according to a quote he probably never said but that remains useful, called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world.” What is true is that the principle behind it is one of the most powerful—and most underestimated—tools in personal finance.

    What Compound Interest Is

    Simple interest works like this: if you deposit 100,000 pesos at a 5% annual rate, after one year you have 105,000. The following year, you earn another 5,000 on the original 100,000. The same percentage, always applied to the same base.

    Compound interest works differently. In the first year, you earn 5,000 in interest. In the second year, the 5% is calculated on 105,000 pesos, not on the original 100,000. That equals 5,250. In the third year, it is 5% on 110,250. And so on. Interest generates interest. Your money works for you.

    Time Is Everything

    This is where compound interest becomes transformative. The difference between starting at age 25 and starting at age 35 is not ten years—it is hundreds of millions of pesos.

    A person who saves 20,000 pesos per month starting at age 25, with a 7% annual return, accumulates approximately 48 million pesos by age 55. Someone who starts at 35, with the same contribution and the same return, accumulates only 24 million. Half the amount—for waiting ten years.

    Why 19th-Century Factory Workers Could Not Use It

    Factory workers in the 19th century, those who built the mutual aid movement in the late 1800s, did not have access to formal savings instruments. They had no practical access to compound interest as a financial tool because they lacked accessible banking institutions, financial education, and income surpluses to invest. Their only option was organized solidarity: the mutual society.

    Today, that barrier no longer exists. There are mutual funds with minimum investments as low as 5,000 Chilean pesos. There are automatic savings applications. There are voluntary savings accounts with tax benefits. Access to compound interest has never been more democratic.

    Where to Start

    There is no single answer, but there are shared principles: start, even with a small amount; make it automatic so it does not depend on willpower; choose low-cost instruments; and do not touch the money.

    The power of compound interest does not require large sums. It requires time and consistency—two things available to anyone who starts today.

  12. Podcast Episode: Money, Time And Happiness

    Spending and saving are two extremes that define how we use our money. On one side, compulsive buying creates closets full of unused clothes — frozen capital that generates nothing and leaves behind environmental damage through fast fashion waste.

    On the other side, saving and investing unlock the power of compound interest, where time and consistency transform small monthly contributions into significant wealth.

    The nineteenth‑century factory worker had no access to this tool; mutual aid was their only option. Today, the infrastructure exists: mutual funds with low minimums, automated savings apps, and tax‑advantaged accounts.

    The real challenge is not whether compound interest works, but whether we start before we feel ready. In the end, the choice is between money trapped in fabric or money working for your future — and the lever you pull determines whether you optimize for time, money, or happiness.

  14. My french online bank has an interesting option to buy gift certificates for various stores at slightly discounted price.

    I buy most of my groceries from Auchan and Super U and paying with these gift certificates, makes thing slightly cheaper.

    That 4-5%, plus 10% discount once a week with my loyalty card and anti-gaspi finds, are helping me to cope with the high prices and low pension to get a rather decent food quality at home.

    Like today, bought 5kg chicken breast marked down at -35% since expiration date is tomorrow. Got 10% off because it's my discount day and 5% on top of it with my gift certificates. So the price of it ended up being less than 6 euro a kilo. Which is about half the price our butcher is selling.

  18. So funny to see that Dhar Mann video about the nerd who saves money and the bully who mocks him.
    Later, that nerd who preaches about saving buys an expensive car....
    Really? Do you know how much value the new car loses in the first two years?

    Don't make that mistake!
