Aspects of the impact of inflation on the process of accumulation of funds in the acquisition of expensive property

The article deals with the issues of accounting for inflation in the process of accumulating funds when planning the acquisition of expensive property. It is shown how to evaluate the period required to accumulate the required amount, taking into account changes in the value of the target asset, and what is the maximum amount at current prices that can be accumulated under protection (partial protection) from inflation in the form of a deposit. The time after which the purchasing power of a periodically replenished deposit ceases to grow is estimated, as well as the time after which the lossesfrom accumulated inflation become equal to the amount of replenishment. A method is described for estimating the minimum amount of increasing savings, which guarantees that the accumulation of funds will not lag behind the appreciation of the target asset.
