I don't even have to ask you if inflation has impacted your budgets. I can speak from experience, I've definitely had to adjust my budget categories to account for inflation! 

But is it going to stay like this forever? Is this our new normal?

Since we are all feeling the affects of inflation, is this reason enough to negotiate a pay increase at your job? 

Are there strategies to help us manage our money better in the midst of such high prices? 

To help answer all these questions, I've got Nicole Lapin on the podcast today. She's a financial journalist, television news anchor, and a New York Times bestselling author who also has her own chart-topping podcast Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin.

Years ago, a fellow teacher and friend came to my classroom to talk to me about something that felt very vulnerable and scary to share. She knew I was passionate about personal finances, and she needed help - fast! She was pregnant with her second child. The problem was her and her husband were living paycheck to paycheck and couldn't afford daycare. They needed to find a way to afford an extra $900 a month. Plus they were in serious credit card debt and had little to no savings. 

Her and her husband came to my house and we laid everything out on the table. Kendra and her husband walked away with a plan and today, just 4 years later, Kendra has an inspiring story to share that I think will be a pivotal moment to my listener's success and motivation when it comes to paying off debt.
