Welcome to the Stay Wealthy podcast.

I'm your host Taylor Schulte.

And today I am continuing the four-part myth-busting series.

The stock market has been screaming upwards for over 10 years now.

episode, I shared why a rising interest rate environment doesn't necessarily mean that you will

lose money and bonds. And I shared this hypothetical example to highlight this, but I also referenced that this

hypothetical example wasn't really all that much of a stretch. In fact, from 1940 to 1980,

interest rates did rise from 2% all the way up to 15%. And I shared that if you were invested

in 10-year treasury bonds during that time, you actually

would have more than doubled your money.

sounds great, but what about the rest of the world?

What was inflation doing during that time?
