Gas prices are back to ruining our vibe and inflation is feeling it
Just when we thought the pain at the pump might be cooling off, the ghost of inflation decided to make a comeback.
It turns out that those few months of relief at the gas station were just a tease. With the latest peace talks hitting a wall, the price of a gallon is climbing again, and gasoline is officially responsible for a third of our recent inflation headache.
Eggs are also getting pricey again, because of course they are. Now, the Federal Reserve is staring down the barrel of a rate hike after playing it cool for years. Market traders are betting 90% that borrowing money is about to get even more expensive, just to keep the economy from overheating further.
Modern life is basically a constant cycle of waiting for gas prices to drop just enough to fill the tank before the next geopolitical crisis ruins the budget.
