Own what reproduces. Owe what dies.
Every year the dollar buys a little less than it did the year before, and that loss lands on anyone who is holding dollars or waiting to be paid in them. A man who owns land or a building that produces, financed with a fixed-rate loan, stands on the other side of that same loss. His payment stays fixed while the dollars he pays it with keep shrinking, so the debt weighs less every year he holds the asset.
The book calls this inflation induced debt destruction, and it shows you how to put that force to work for your family instead of letting it work against you.
Where the dollar takes
- Savings parked in cash for the long haul
- A fixed income that never adjusts
- Money lent out and repaid in cheaper dollars
Where it works for you
- Land, cattle, and buildings that produce
- A fixed-rate loan on an asset that earns
- A debt that shrinks while the asset grows
