Most people think banks make their money by lending out the cash you deposit…
But here’s the twist:
Banks can loan out up to 10x the amount of money they actually hold because of something called fractional reserve banking.
That means:
If you deposit $1,000, the bank may only be required to keep $100 on hand…
…and can loan out $900 to someone else.
Then that $900 gets deposited somewhere…
…and $810 of that gets loaned out again…
Over and over.
✨ One single dollar can become thousands in the banking system.
Most people don’t know this — yet this system affects:
• Interest rates
• Inflation
• The value of your savings
• How fast money moves through the economy
🔎 Hidden in Plain Sight:
Banks don’t grow wealthy by saving money.
They grow wealthy by moving money.
The lesson?
Money favors flow, not storage.
Your financial strategy should too.
