Inflation (when considering the rise of cost of living): 6%
Returns of investment funds my bank offers: 5%
Disposable income to use for investing: 0

Yeah, the math works out just fine on this one.

Investment returns of broad market: 10-15%. Don't invest with your bank, invest with a brokerage.

That doesn't exactly work if you don't have money to begin with though...
