I am losing ground to inflation, right? Not like in purchasing power, but in flat rate. Do you agree or disagree? Thank you.

You are losing purchasing power IN ADDITION to "flat rate" as you call it. We are like Weimar Germany and your money is buying less every day. The best we can do is try to get assetts that appreciate to mollify this "inflation tax" that is hitting us all.
