Inflation is when sitting on your nest egg doesn't give you anything to crow about.

Inflation is when sitting on your nest egg doesn't give you

Summary

This quote suggests that inflation negatively impacts the value and purchasing power of one's savings. It cleverly uses the metaphor of sitting on a "nest egg," which traditionally represents a person's accumulated wealth or savings, and the idiom "anything to crow about," meaning something worth celebrating or taking pride in. When inflation occurs, the quote implies that the value of the nest egg diminishes, leading to disappointment and dissatisfaction, as it no longer provides any tangible benefits or reasons to celebrate.
