Description
Inflation is moving in the wrong direction, and Americans are feeling the strain. New data shows inflation has climbed to its highest level in roughly three years, while the personal savings rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2022. Consumers are spending more on essentials like housing, food, and energy, even as incomes struggle to keep pace.
In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest inflation report, what shrinking savings could mean for the economy, and why persistent price pressures may keep interest rates and mortgage rates higher for longer. She also explains the key takeaways for real estate investors as affordability challenges continue to shape the housing market.
