Have we time traveled to the 1970s? Alarming Inflation, Credit Card Debt and the Scary Economy

We've all heard about inflation in the news, but what exactly is it?

Inflation is when prices for goods and services rise over time. This means that the same amount of money doesn't buy as much as it used to. For example, a can of soda that cost $1 ten years ago might now cost $1.50.

While this may not seem like a big difference, it can add up over time. This is why inflation is often called the "silent thief" and is an involuntary tax hike on all consumers. It slowly eats away at your purchasing power without you even realizing it. While inflation can be a problem, it's important to remember that it's also a natural part of our economy.

What is hyperinflation?

In simple terms, it's when prices for goods and services rise rapidly, outstripping the ability of people to earn a living. The effects of hyperinflation can be devastating, leading to widespread poverty and even social unrest.

How do we fight hyperinflation day to day?

One way is to make sure that we save as much money as possible. This may seem counterintuitive, but by setting aside money each month, we can help to protect ourselves from the effects of inflation. Another way to fight hyperinflation is to invest in assets that have the potential to appreciate in value. This could include stocks, bonds, and even real estate. By diversifying our portfolio, we can help to insulate ourselves from the worst effects of inflation.

Make your life a priority and you will be rich in everything that matters. A man who knows what's important doesn't need much, while an empty-headed dilettante wastes his time on things lacking value or meaning when he could have it all right here waiting for him at home with nothing but himself to keep company!

Credit Cards: yea or nay?

It used to be so easy to use your credit card for everyday purchases, but now with rising interest rates, it's not such a good idea. It feels like every day the news is reporting on another increase in interest rates. This means that if you don't act now, your credit card debt could balloon out of control.

Using a credit card for everyday purchases in order to take advantage of the current 0% APR offers was a great plan, but with interest rates on the rise, it's hard to know if you're making a smart decision.

If you're carrying a balance on your credit card, you're likely paying more in interest than you would if you just used cash. But what if you could travel back in time and tell your younger self not to use credit cards?

As the cost of living rises, more and more people are turning to credit cards to make ends meet. While this can be a helpful short-term solution, it can also lead to long-term financial problems. When inflation is taken into account, the real cost of credit card debt increases dramatically. This is because the minimum monthly payment is based on the original purchase price, not the current value of the item. As a result, consumers end up paying much more for their purchases than they would if they had paid in cash. In addition, high-interest rates can make it difficult to pay off the balance, leading to a cycle of debt that can be difficult to break free from. For these reasons, it is important to think carefully before using a credit card to make a purchase during an era of inflation.
