Ever notice how your wallet feels lighter every year? Whether it's fresh tax bills landing on your doorstep, the silent erosion of purchasing power through inflation, or surprise compliance requirements that drain your account—it all adds up fast.
Think about it this way: reckless spending decisions made in legislative sessions translate directly into pressure on regular people like you and me. The government pushes forward with aggressive fiscal policies, and guess who bears the weight? The everyday person trying to build wealth and save for the future.
Inflation eats away at savings. New tax brackets quietly shift. Regulatory costs get passed down the chain. Each policy layer piles on, and the cumulative effect is crushing. It's not some abstract economic concept—it's real money disappearing from real lives. The disconnect between those making these decisions and those actually living with the consequences grows wider every cycle.
