   Let's calculate how broke Stephen would be if there was only 1 more percent    
   of inflation every year of his life.   
      
   Every dollar he earns today would only be worth 36c compared to what it would   
   be without that additional 1% of inflation (assuming he's 50 years   
   young....which I doubt)
