Episode Description

If you could borrow money for a century, should you? This episode explores the strategy behind Alphabet's 100-year bond and why one of the world's wealthiest companies chooses to stay in debt until the next century.

We bridge the gap between corporate finance and your front door, breaking down how inflation acts as a "discount" on long-term debt like mortgages. By analyzing the math of eroding buying power, we reveal why time is the ultimate lever for the borrower—and how you can use a fixed-rate mindset to short the dollar and build long-term wealth.
