> When a currency is experiencing deflation it makes sense not to spend it. In that world, keeping my money under my mattress is the soundest investment strategy.

A does not imply B.

If the currency deflates at 1% but you could invest at 2%, your mattress isn't the most sound investment strategy.

also "no" is a valid answer to "employer asked for access to their Facebook page".

i'd do the same thing if an employer asked to search my apartment or read my email.

5% is unrealistic. 1% is.

50 million * .01 * .65 (tax) / 4 years = 81,250

considering opportunity cost and time spent. likely not worth it.
