Episode notes
Jill Schlesinger of JillOnMoney.com joins Lisa Price to explain why the Federal Reserve is avoiding the word stagflation and what it could mean for consumers if the economy slows while prices continue to rise. Schlesinger also offers practical steps listeners can take to protect their finances during uncertain times, including building an emergency fund, paying down debt and boosting retirement contributions, and reminds filers that the IRS communicates only through the U.S. Postal Service and never by phone, text or social media.
