You're probably thinking Esther, I'm not an investment manager, I don't work in a bank, and I'm not in the financial industry; what does inflation have to do with my personal finances?

Well if you want to become financially independent and achieve financial success, inflation is one of those things you have to pay attention to.

Inflation is measured using three popular measurements: Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI) and House Price Index (HPI).

There are other ways of measuring inflation but these are the three main ones and these can change over time because of how we use and spend money. So let's get straight into it.

You don't want to miss:

• Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• Producer Price Index (PPI)
• House Price Index (HPI).

The reason for today's podcast is that everyone in finance and politics is talking about inflation.

You may believe it has nothing to do with you or your personal finances, yet it is all about your money.

I'll give you a heads up: this episode is going to be a mouthful, and it'll be different from the others in that I'll be discussing statistics, rates, and percentages. However, bear with me! This is critical. Some of you may feel compelled to flee. But don't move. Because there is so much to cover, I've chosen to make this a series and divide it into four parts.

Today's episode is part 1 of a two-part series in which I explain what inflation is and why it matters to you.

• What is inflation?
• Why does understanding Inflation matter

Today's episode is a little different from the others in that... For this episode, I didn't have much of a plan. I felt compelled to put the mic on and record while meditating in the early morning hours.

If you're a regular listener and fan of the Boss Of My Money podcast, you already know that personal finance is about more than just money for me... it's who I am and who I want to be! Money, after all, reveals a great deal about who we are, what we think, and what we believe. It's critical that you realise this and match your spending habits with the person you want to be.

In today's episode I will be sharing the importance of having a WHY for your desire to become financially independent.

I've chosen this topic because very often most people, start their financial journey because they are told to or they know it's beneficial to their financial situation and it's something they should do. And while they make some progress, they are inconsistent, they give up easily and even though they are budgeting, saving and paying off debts, it's in drips and drops, they are doing this on a surface level and not really reaping the true benefits from actions they are taking. I believe the reason for this is that they don't have WHY for financial independence.
