The Hidden Cost of Your September Paycheck

Lucas and Luna break down the disconnect between falling inflation readings and rising consumer anxiety in October 2026. With core CPI holding at 337.8 and unemployment ticking to 4.2 percent, they explore why real wages feel stagnant despite headline improvements. The episode examines how tariff-driven price shifts on everyday goods are reshaping household budgets and what this means for the Federal Reserve's next move.
