+98 If every birthday you get a present in dollars equal to years-old you're turning, you only get bigger presents until you're 50 (assuming 2% inflation). Then they decline. amirite?

I think you need to show the math on this one

At age 50 you get $50 and then at 2% inflation $50 x 1.02 = $51 by your 51st birthday your present has the same buying power as your previous present. Then at 52 you get $52 but your previous present of $51 would have been worth $52.02 by that time and the divide only gets bigger from there.

Not sure assuming inflation is a good idea

Curious where the 2% number came from, cause I'm currently living in the midst of 6-7% inflation...
