Tariffs Are Screwing Your Wallet—Here’s ...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Everything is getting more expensive, and it’s not just inflation. The U.S. just slapped massive tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, and that means your grocery bill, your next car, and even your favorite bottle of tequila are all about to cost way more. But why is this happening, and more importantly—what can you do about it?


In this episode, we break down:

  • WTF tariffs actually are and why they make everyday goods more expensive
  • The biggest price hikes coming your way in 2025 (groceries, cars, electronics, home goods, and more)
  • How to adjust your spending habits to stay ahead of these price surges
  • The hidden costs of tariffs no one is talking about—job layoffs, shrinkflation, and sneaky fees
  • How to manage financial stress and make smarter money moves instead of panic-spending


This episode is all about giving you the game plan you need to survive and thrive in this new economy. Because feeling broke isn’t an option.
