CLAYTON MORRIS
About this episode

Inflation is making renters poorer—and not just because your rent keeps going up. Every month, more of your paycheck is being transferred into housing costs, leaving you with less money to save, invest, or ever become an owner. You don’t benefit from equity or appreciation; you simply have to come up with more money to remain in the same place with little to no upgrades. 

On today’s show, let’s get brutally honest here about why inflation is making renters poorer, why this problem continues even when inflation supposedly cools down, and what renters can actually do to stop falling further behind. You’re going to learn why rent inflation can be so damaging to your bottom line, how ownership of assets can help you get ahead, and much more!
