#033 Following the money printing done to alleviate the impact of job loss during the pandemic, inflation is expected and is already being experienced with the cost of goods going up. Also, people who saved a lot are now spending much more, and this is also driving up the cost of living. Jennifer advises that in anticipation of the looming inflation, families should be rational, take a step back, be patient and make sure they make decisions they are confident about. The first step for most people is to avoid major unnecessary purchases, and consider cheaper alternatives in daily purchases. Jennifer notes that most often it's the bigger expenditures that create financial difficulties for people.
