Why Real Return Matters?

If your bank offers a 5% interest rate but inflation is also at 5%, your nominal return is 5%, but your real return is 0%. This means while you have more money, you can only buy the same amount of goods as before. Always aim for investments where the nominal return significantly exceeds the inflation rate.
