Quote from @Sherief Elbassuoni: Whenever I have cash, I put it as a downpayment for a new rental.Even if you got 4-5%, this is less than inflation, so your money is loosing valueMonth over month inflation is more current information than year over year...and it has been near zero in total for the past nine months and negative for 5 of those 9 months.

I track the principal as a Liability account in Xero, and whenever I add it to a report, it always shows the current balance, rather than the change over the chosen time period (like with expense accounts).
