We’re living in strange times. On one hand, the economy looks stable: stock markets are holding up, unemployment is going down, and banks are reporting record profits. But on the other hand, most of us feel like it’s harder every month to make ends meet. That saving doesn’t work. That investing is scary. That the future is a blurry cloud.

What if we told you this isn’t just bad luck?
What if there’s an entire system — made of narratives, habits, misinformation, and lack of financial education — designed to keep millions of people financially stuck without even knowing it?

The silent enemy: inflation and stagnant savings

In 2025, inflation in Spain hovers around 2.3%. And even though it’s no longer making headlines, it’s still there — quietly eating away at your money.
If your savings are sitting in a bank account with zero interest, you’re losing purchasing power every single day.

Here’s the key: saving money is not the same as growing it.
And the worst part? Most people still believe keeping money in the bank is the safest option — simply because “that’s how it’s always been.”

The illusion of stability: precarious jobs, low wages, and a fragile pension system

Here’s another issue that gets ignored: precarious work. Sure, unemployment is going down — but most new jobs are part-time. Young people, in particular, are stuck in temporary contracts and low salaries.
‍
And what about pensions? In 2023, Spain had so few births that there are now fewer than 2.4 workers for every retiree. The math doesn’t add up.
And that can only mean one thing: in the future, you’ll either take matters into your own hands… or depend on a system that simply won’t be able to support you.

So why don’t we do anything? Lack of financial education and fear of change

More than half of Spaniards don’t know what compound interest is. And it’s not their fault — no one ever teaches us how to manage money. Not in school. Not at home. We only learn how to work and how to spend.‍‍

To make it worse, we’re constantly bombarded with messages that tell us to stay the same.
“Debt is fine if you manage it.” “New financial technologies are risky.” “Don’t touch your money, it’s safer in the bank.”
But ask yourself: who benefits when you don’t know how to make your money work for you? Exactly.

The new landscape: platforms that are actually built for you

The good news? The tools to break free are more accessible than ever. There are financial platforms designed to deliver real returns, transparency, and control to users.

One of them is Rand — an app that helps you generate up to 6.5% APY automatically, with no hidden fees or complexity.
It’s not magic. It’s financial technology built for real people.

You don’t need to become a stock market expert — just make different decisions than the ones you’ve always made.

The Key is to open your eyes

‍We can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
If the system won’t teach us how to save properly or help us grow, we’ll have to find our own way.

The good news? You don’t need to be rich or an expert. You just need to understand one simple truth:
Leaving your money idle is letting it die.
And now more than ever, there are easy, safe, and accessible ways to start putting that money to work.
