Americans fight with rising cost of living | Morning in America

From the grocery store to the gas station, budgets are getting tighter across America as inflation cools ever so slowly. The new Consumer Price Index report for April will be released Wednesday, which many analysts believe could come in hotter than expected - even though inflation has fallen since its peak of 9.1 percent in June of 2022.

America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. this year will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned 180k savings to turn to dust

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

Despite supply the chain issue being resolved over a year ago, corporations persisted in maintaining high prices. It's only now, as people revolt and begin to adopt new habits, that corporations are reluctantly reducing their prices. This undeniable shift exposes the truth: the price hikes weren't driven by inflation, but rather by sheer 'Greedflation. Not everything is about politics. Ty🙏
