It means that money today is worth more than the same amount in the future because of interest or inflation.
Spot on! To remember this, think of the saying: 'A penny saved today is worth more than a penny saved tomorrow.' Can anyone provide an example of how inflation might affect ownership cost?
If a machine costs 1,000 now, it might cost more due to inflation in the future!
Exactly! That’s why understanding these concepts is vital for budgeting and planning.
