Our annual look at inflation is back...by looking at the price of a sandwich! Award winning blogger Len Penzo joins us to reveal his look at ten different sandwiches and how their prices have changed since a year ago.
What's REALLY happened to the price of eggs? (hint: it's not what you think) Is a baloney sandwich still the least expensive? What sandwich ingredient went up the most? How does a sandwich compare to McDonalds or buying from work? We'll dive into ALL of the details on today's show.
But of course, that's not all. In our headline segment, US debt was downgraded last week. What does that mean for your money? We'll explain. Plus, we'll answer a question from a Stacker about what to do if you have money you need now but it's in a volatile spot? Should she move it now? Wait because it's going up? Which is best?
All of that, Doug's amazing trivia, and more on today's podcast! Enjoy!
