The Good Financial Cents Show w/ Jeff Rose, CFP®

Let me know if this sounds like a dream come trie:

 

You can purchase a safe investment, guaranteed by the government,  and make almost 10% return. (Does that exist?)

 

I’m sure you saw the headline last week that said in March the CPI is up 8.5% from 1 year ago.  That is the fast annual gain since December 1981.

 

What does that mean?

 

CPI is a measure of the price of goods and services we purchase - it is a measure of inflation.

 

01:54 Areas with largest increase in costs.

02:46 Inflation hedges

05:14 Safe investment that will yield almost 10% return
