The Catchup

The Inflation Issue


Listen Later

This week’s topic is courtesy of one is Denison’s students, wanting to learn more about the growing issue that’s affecting all of us - inflation.

Inflation is something that never stops, and can’t be undone. But what the US has experienced in the past few months is worse than normal. Accounting for roughly 1/3rd of that inflation - the auto industry. But the higher cost of cars and trucks, and oil and gas (largely brought on by Russia's invasion of the Ukraine), are feeding into higher prices everywhere - including what you feed on.

So, how does inflation work and what causes it? And how do you weather the storm? One thing is for sure, there’s no going back from these higher overall prices. So, we discuss how to protect your pocketbook among this new normal of higher prices.

Now, speaking of cars, Denison gives us a review after a long-term test drive of an all-electric Tesla Model 3. He discuses the unique drive, the difference in maintaining the car, the cost to charge it (vs fill a gas engine), and much more. There’s a lot to get into, let’s go ahead and jump into it!
