Ah, inflation, the age-old monster in the money closet. It also happens to be a HOT topic of conversation these days. But right off the bat, we’re going to say, word to the wise, dial your panic down. Sure, there has been lots of press about it this year, but it’s also been a very different year than we’re used to. The COVID-19 situation has definitely impacted our economy, without a doubt, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to see the inflation rate skyrocket. There is a lot more to it. And we want you to have a clear understanding and knowledgeable insights, so you and your loved ones don’t have to worry.
So, in today’s episode, we will talk about EVERYTHING. This includes:
- The history of inflation
- What causes it
- How it’s managed
- What stops it
- Hyper-inflation
- Interest rates
- What to expect next
And more!
