The cost of living continues its upward climb! This week on Money and Change, we tackle the massive surge in gas and diesel prices across the country and connect it to broader economic issues, including the spiraling $39 trillion national debt. We dive deep into practical strategies for taking control of your financial future by reviewing the essential rules for a household budget (50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings/debt) and offering simple methods for building your first $1,000 emergency fund—and why keeping a secure cash stash at home is critical.
Plus, we provide a full, vital checklist for financial and emergency preparedness. Learn exactly what you need to be prepped: from stocking long-term food and water (three gallons per person per day), to securing blue tarps for your roof, and investing in high-quality GMRS radios for essential communication when the grid goes down. Finally, we touch on current investment topics like the residential real estate market, commercial property cap rates, and using precious metals (gold and silver) as a hedge against calamity.
