It is well known that the inflation factor impacts the value of money to a great extent. It is worthwhile to note that goods worth $100 today would cost you $103 after a year. The 3% increase in the cost of the goods can be attributed to the rise in inflation. It is thus clear that the rate of return on your investment should atleast be greater than the rate of inflation.

Any supporting thoughts?
