About This Episode
Today I’m talking about inflation.
While inflation has historically averaged ~3%, the most recent CPI report showed an annual rate of 5.4%. 😲
But I’m going to share why that number doesn’t tell the whole story.
I’m also sharing how some people are using the recent CPI report to try and scare you before Halloween even starts.
Finally, I’ll be providing tips for how retirement investors can improve their portfolios if moderately high inflation persists.
If you want to know what the current inflation numbers mean for your retirement + how to combat this BIG SCARY threat, today’s episode is for you.
