EP 017: The Lies About Inflation and How It Impacts Your Life

Can you believe it…

Once upon a time doctors used to think smoking was good for you?

They also used to think that eating fat was incredibly bad for you and eating a diet super high in carbohydrates was the answer.

Now, this one is hard to believe…but it’s real

In the 50’s meth was prescribed to housewives who wanted more energy

Anyway, the point I’m trying to make here is that we only need to look to history to see the amount of times in which experts got it wrong.

Well…

What if I told you what you think you know about inflation might be a lie also?

Many people have been led to believe inflation is low and the same for everyone.

We see the mass media and the ‘Reserve Bank of Australia’ continue to tell us its low.

But… when you look more closely at the topic…

Their narrative doesn’t add up

I know for myself that the cost of living has increased and so has the cost of housing.

Do I even dare mention the rise of petrol at this point?

Anyhow,

Inflation is one of the core wealth concepts you need to understand and master if you are ever going to be successful at building wealth.

This episode of the podcast might be controversial and you might find disagreeing with Grant and I.

But I ask that you hear this one out and make the decision for yourself, all while keeping an open mind.
