Investing can be a great way to reach your long-term financial goals by staying ahead of inflation.
The increase in the cost of living as the price of goods and services rise is called inflation.

Investing shouldn't replace savings accounts and the other good financial habits you are building with Qapital -- it is just another useful piece of the financial puzzle.
