Inflation , tariff , the housing securities industry … when does it end ?
I probably don’t need to tell you that the cost of living has really seemed to skyrocket in the past few months…ever since a certain someone took office.
Despite President Trump’s promises to lower egg prices and costs for the average American family, people have found that they’re actually paying far more for essentials like groceries…
…And gas…
…And anything from another country, or anything that even uses materials from another country, due to Trump’s tariffs.
This is not even to mention the housing market,where30-year mortgage rates are at almost 7%, and the rental market is equally terrible. So, in a time of so much financial uncertainty and rising prices…how have you been affected?
Perhaps you’ve found grocery prices are so expensive that you’ve completely switched your diet and shopping habits, and there are items you completely avoid.
Maybe you’ve moved back in with your parents or with roommates to save on rent, or maybe you’ve been forced to sell your home.
Maybe you’ve taken on a second job or tried your hand in the gig economy, or tried to jump jobs to get higher pay (though with the way the job market is…how?).
Maybe you’re a small business owner who’s been affected by the tariffs, and you’ve had to increase your prices — only to see your sales tank.
Inflation, tariffs, the housing market…when does it end?
