Inflation for Dummies & When You Love Staying Home Too Much

Season 5, Episode 382,   Feb 17, 2022, 04:11 AM

Does it feel like your wallet is bleeding money right now? We all know that inflation has gotten worse during the pandemic, but can you explain why? Kathleen is breaking it down and explaining why things like groceries, cars, houses, even your favorite hobbies have gotten more expensive over the last two years. Then, Bethany opens up about her struggles with getting back to socializing and leaving her house after two years of staying inside. (When does the excuse “I’m an introvert” become a crutch?) Plus, Bebe and Kathleen torture each other with a game of “Job Interview” and, as always, your voicemails!
