UNDERSTANDING INFLATION IS VITAL TO YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES. In this week's episode of the Financial Freeman Podcast we explain that inflation will continue to rise because the Government need it to! The Government's debt is so huge now that inflation is the only trick they have left to reduce it. They can't raise interest rates because this will kill the economy and tax increases won't help too much (unless they go to levels that will lead to riots). And what's more the Government continue to 'print' money as if they are addicted to it. Supply and demand issues will also impact inflation especially in the short term but ultimately Government policy is far more important and they will get what they want!
