Inflation including the debasement of the currency is somewhere between 8 and 12% buddy (and has been for the past 70 years). Gold (and even better, BTC) is the real currencyOne thing that looks odd to me with SG banks is some of them have a really low interest on USD accounts, which effectively makes you lose money against inflation (I want at least 3.5% as fed rates are 4.25%, and for example this bank showed me a 0.03% interest rate)
