What if inflation isn't just something happening to us, but part of how the government manages its debt?

In this solo episode, Amy Sylvis breaks down recent comments from President Trump about inflation and the national debt and explains why they matter to anyone trying to build, preserve, and pass on wealth. Amy walks through the difference between the federal deficit and national debt, then explains five ways a country can deal with a growing debt burden. She focuses on one strategy that's much less obvious: reducing the real value of debt through inflation. Using a simple mortgage example, Amy explains how declining purchasing power can make fixed debt easier to repay over time.

Rather than focusing on politics, Amy brings the conversation back to what individuals can actually control. She discusses financial education, understanding the monetary system, protecting purchasing power, and learning how different assets and sources of income may perform during periods of higher inflation.
