Money Elementary - Recession, Inflation, Stagnation
In this episode of Money Elementary, Heidi, Vanessa, and MEIA break down the tangled mess of inflation, recession, and stagnation using real-life examples and a sizzling restaurant analogy. MEIA explains how what feels like “just higher prices” is actually a warning sign of deeper economic shifts. They uncover how tariffs sneak up on your wallet, why fewer jobs and flat wages aren’t just bad luck, and what smart moves to make right now. From rising costs to frozen growth, the trio keeps it real, relevant, and totally unfiltered. This isn’t just econ talk—it’s your survival guide for what’s happening in your bank account today.
