On the earning side, he explains why it pays to shift your cash into high-yield savings accounts when rates are up. Damien recommends his top picks for online banks offering over 5% APY. He also discusses how historically the stock market beats inflation over time, making now an ideal moment to invest those longer-term funds.


    On the spending side, Damien urges you to pay down any variable-rate debt before that debt gets even more expensive. He also recommends pausing spending on goods hit hardest by inflation, like lumber, and waiting for prices to stabilize. Finally, as a long-term customer, use this inflationary period to call up your cable company, gym, or streaming services and negotiate better rates. You have leverage - use it!


    Damien wraps up the episode by exposing how retailers use sneaky price anchoring tactics to make deals seem hotter than they really are. He shares his favorite apps to track price history so you can tell an actual bargain from a marketing gimmick.
