Inflation is basically your money waking up one morning and deciding,
“Yeah… I’m gonna be less useful today.”
And suddenly everything costs more — groceries, rent, coffee, life — but your salary?
Frozen. Stagnant. Quiet.
Like that friend who always says “I’ll pay you back” but never does.
Let’s be honest: you didn’t approve this diet.
Your money went keto without your consent.
But here’s the savage truth no one says out loud:
Inflation isn’t a mystery. It’s a mess.
A very predictable, very annoying mess created by governments, companies, global events, supply chain gremlins, and a whole lot of corporate “oops, we raised prices because we felt like it.”
Yet somehow you get blamed.
“Budget better.”
“Stop buying avocado toast.”
Oh shut up. If skipping one brunch fixed inflation, economists would be out of a job.
The reality?
Inflation is what happens when the people in charge screw up, panic, over-correct, then pretend everything’s fine while your wallet cries in the corner.
And the funniest part?
Every company acts like a victim.
“Oh no, costs are rising so we had to raise prices.”
Sure.
Totally makes sense.
Explain why your profits magically went up too?
I’ll wait.
Don’t get it twisted: a chunk of inflation is legit — supply issues, global crises, currency swings.
But a disturbingly large chunk is pure, unfiltered corporate greed wearing a respectable suit.
Inflation hits you in tiny, sneaky ways:
- The chocolate bar that shrank
- The coffee that got 20% lighter
- The shampoo bottle that now holds “less, for the same premium experience”
- The Uber ride that used to be ₹150 and is now ₹400 for the same depressing route
It’s shrinkflation, greedflation, bullshit-flation — pick your fighter.
And while all this happens, politicians do their little press conferences, central banks pretend raising interest rates fixes the universe, and economists write essays no one asked for…
Meanwhile YOU are standing in a grocery aisle having a minor breakdown over the price of eggs.
Here’s what actually matters:
Inflation isn’t your failure. It’s the system’s chaos leaking into your life.
Your job is to stop taking the hit silently.
Make more money faster than prices rise.
Use tech and AI to multiply your output.
Stop relying on one paycheck in a world where everything is inflating except wages.
Build assets. Build skills. Build leverage.
Because inflation’s not slowing down for anyone — and your bank balance deserves a fighting chance.
Your money’s on a diet.
Time to feed your income steroids.
