Summary
Discover what's happening with inflation and the one inflation surprise.
Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not?
Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle.
If you only knew where to invest for the long-term, what a difference it would make, because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.
Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!

| 0:40.4 | Welcome to Be Wealthy and Smart. I'm Linda P. Jones, |
| 0:45.6 | America's wealth mentor, empowering women and men worldwide to financial freedom. On today's show, |
| 0:52.9 | we're going to talk about how inflation is unchanged, except for one thing. It's very interesting how this article that I'm going to share with you portrayed this one |
| 0:56.6 | thing, but I'll get to that in just a minute. First, I want to let you know that we got some fresh |
| 1:01.8 | inflation numbers, which is one of the things the Fed looks at in order to determine whether it will |
| 1:06.8 | reduce interest rates or not. And today we got the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which said |
| 1:11.8 | the producer price index was flat. That means a big zero. That means no change from the previous |
| 1:18.0 | month. And economists were looking at a possible increase of 0.2%. That didn't happen. The same was true |
| 1:24.4 | for core producer price index, which was also expected to show a 0.2% rise. |
| 1:30.0 | According to CNBC, the data suggests that president's tariffs are indicating only a marginal bite on the U.S. economy and the prices for goods and services. |
| 1:39.1 | Now, we had the headline and core inflation flat. |
| 1:42.0 | We had final demand goods prices rise 0.3%, but were offset by a 0.1% fall |
| 1:48.5 | in services. And within the goods category, communication equipment posted a gain of 0.8%. And core |
| 1:56.5 | goods prices also rose 0.3%. So the PPI level for May, which initially was reported as a 0.1% |
| 2:04.1 | increase, was revised upward to a 0.3% gain. And that 0.3% gain is the largest gain since February. |
| 2:10.8 | On a year over year basis, the headline producer price index was up 2.3% compared with 2.7% in May and good for the lowest level since |
