AlkoInvestor described a bedtime story on X that he told his younger son two days earlier. In his version of the story about the three little pigs, the first one kept savings in a sock, the second used three-month deposits, and the third had been investing in accumulating global ETFs for years. The wolf, symbolizing inflation, gradually destroyed the first two houses, while the third, as the author wrote, became bigger after thirty years. AlkoInvestor added that his son asked if the wolf ate the remaining pigs. He replied that inflation was slowly diminishing them by a few percent annually. According to the author, the boy did not fall asleep until midnight, and the next evening he asked for an explanation of compound interest; he fell asleep with a smile, supposedly dreaming of charts. #FIRE #finanse #oszczędzanie #edukacja (translated)
