Prices are creeping while we tap and go. In this clip we sanity-check everyday costs—$12–$16 coffees, $8 iced green tea, frozen pizzas that now rival takeout—and how that bleed shows up at Kroger, the register, and eventually rent and mortgages. We talk real numbers, why fixer-uppers can become financial traps, and how to stay clear-eyed when everything from escrow to groceries feels rigged.

We also share a local resource for anyone in a squeeze (Feed More’s Sunday pantry at the JCC on Monument Ave) and a mindset reset for getting back above water.
