Inflation, Housing Costs, Groceries, and Your Everyday Life

Kellen and Josiah discuss how inflation has steadily decreased since the peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to around 2.5%, explaining what that means for everyday expenses like housing and groceries. While prices aren’t dropping, the extreme spikes of the past couple of years are behind us at this time.
