Inflation, this summer’s biggest party crasher, is putting a damper on backyard barbecues everywhere with higher food and energy costs while busting many vacation budgets with unpredictable flights, hotels, and gas prices.
What’s most concerning is that it’s threatening to eat away at the value of many Americans’ hard-earned savings and investments.
But just like a 10-year-old on a slippery pool deck, inflation shouldn’t be allowed to run fast and carelessly — someone needs to say something.
