In article , F. George McDuffee
says...

We now have the situation where many people quite rationally have
decided that savings is non productive [indeed, you have a
negative return for most investments when inflation and "tax
affect" are considered].

It does seem that 'investing' or 'saving' means that one does
whatever one can, to minimize the loss of value of ones assets.

IOW you can't win, you can't break even, you can't get out of the game.
