What we have had for the last several years is inflammation. The high inflation sustained during the Biden administration has never gone away. It is now permanent and has been permanent. The rate of inflation has slowed substantially. But we are stuck with high inflation from 2022, 2023 and 2024. Your only hope now is to make more money. Get a better job or get a raise where you work or just start printing money yourself. There are some really good printers out there now. Good luck.
