Inflation Isn’t Over: Why It Still Hurts Your Retirement Plan
Inflation might be “cooling” according to the headlines—but if you’re like most people, it probably doesn’t feel that way.
In this episode, Josh and I break down what’s really going on with inflation, why prices are still so high, and what it all means for your retirement plan. We talk about the disconnect between the numbers you hear in the news and the reality you feel every day at the gas pump, the grocery store, and beyond.
We also dive into why inflation can hit the LGBTQ+ community even harder—especially when it comes to relying on personal savings, navigating healthcare costs, and planning without a traditional family safety net.
Most importantly, I walk you through what you can actually do about it—from building reliable income streams to planning for rising costs and creating a strategy that reflects your real life.
If you’ve been feeling stressed, uncertain, or like your money just isn’t going as far as it used to… you’re not imagining it. But there are steps you can take—and that’s what this episode is all about.
