Inflation in the US has been hitting record highs, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 7% in February 2023, marking the highest increase since 1982. It has led to concerns about the impact of rising prices on the economy and on consumers, particularly those with lower incomes. From gas prices to groceries, many people are feeling the pinch of higher prices. Moreover, some experts are warning that this trend may continue for the rest of the year as supply chain disruptions and other factors contribute to inflationary pressures. With the rising inflation, people are worried about what their future beholds.

Surviving in the crashing post-pandemic economy might seem impossible right now, but the only respite is that you are not alone, as reported by BuzzFeed.
