Episode Description

Christmas may have a wish list, but your budget has a veto. The newest inflation report came out this morning, and it shows prices are still putting pressure on family budgets. But forget the economic charts for a minute. What’s the expense that changed how your family lives -- not just for a month, but for good? Groceries? Insurance? Child care?

Or do you borrow to keep the traditions alive?
