Fight Inflation – Buy Smart

Inflation is not just happening in the U.S. It’s a worldwide problem. In fact, inflation has been lower in America than in many other countries around the globe. Experts say there are ways to make the best of a bad situation

Ditto for home improvement. Prices for lumber and other building materials have gone up faster than the general rate of inflation.
