Despite inflation rates returning to historical averages, consumers still feel prices are high, especially in essential areas like food and gas, which have outpaced wage growth.

Shownotes Transcript

Inflation hit a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022.

Today, inflation is hovering around 3%.

If inflation is back in line with long-term historical averages, why does everything still feel so expensive?

When voters were asked what they would most like to see improved in our economy...

...why did 64% of them say *"lower prices?" *

In this episode, I'm digging into the current state of inflation, why prices still feel high, and where inflation might be headed.

I'm also sharing tactics for how to successfully navigate challenging time periods.

If, like most retirement savers, things still feel outrageously expensive to you, you're going to enjoy this episode.
