Why Everyone Feels Broke Right Now (And How to Come Out Ahead)

Why Everyone Feels Broke Right Now (And How to Come Out Ahead)

Everyone feels broke right now… but is it you, or is it the economy? In this episode of Gals Getting Rich, we unpack why money feels tighter than ever — from rising prices and high interest rates to global events like conflict in the Middle East driving up oil and everyday costs. We break down what’s actually happening (in plain English), why your lifestyle might be quietly getting more expensive, and how social media is making it all worse. But we don’t stop there — we also talk about how to respond without panic: how to invest during uncertainty, align your money with your values, and build wealth without feeling like you’re selling your soul. If you’ve looked at your bank account lately and thought “how is everything this expensive?” — this one’s for you.  Notion Template [notion.so/ac320a9e9df84cb08ca0a85001e04eb4] for budgeting Download Rakuten [https://www.rakuten.com/r/VATTSA2?eeid=44747] to get cash back on online purchases!
