INFLATION:
This is the rate that products and services increase in price over time, lowering the VALUE of the money that we have today. It’s generally thought that the more money gets printed into our economy, the more we devalue the existing currency in circulation, and over time…the more dollars it costs to buy the same thing.
the ROOT CAUSE of inflation seems to be broken down into 3 categories:
1. INCREASED DEMAND.
2. HIGHER PRODUCTION COST
For example, throughout a Labor Shortage – businesses needed to pay MORE to attract new employees. However, to compensate for that increased cost…prices eventually had to RISE…and, over time, that cost gets passed on to you, as the customer.
3. BUILT-IN INFLATION
Third, there’s also a source of inflation known as “Built-In,” because it’s CAUSED by the prices of goods going up, to the point where people need to make more money to pay for them…which begins the cycle all over again.
4. SUPPLY CHAIN BOTTLENECK
The WORST, from all of this…is SHIPPING. See, most businesses rely on imports from other countries…and, often, those items are shipped overseas in large containers that arrive to ports, where they get sorted and sent on trucks to their final destination.
But those SHIPPING CONTAINER COSTS are expected to rise by an average of 126% this year…and, even worse, SPOT RATES of current shipments are 4.5 TIMES HIGHER THAN A YEAR AGO.
Part of that has to due with a shortage of workers capable of handling such a high amount of inventory…and, with increased demand for physical goods…it’s created a “Traffic Jam” of cargo vessels, sometimes waiting weeks at sea to dock…further delaying their arrival, and costing significantly more money to operate.
5. SHADOW INFLATION
This what happens when pay the same price for goods and services…BUT, the QUALITY or QUANTITY has secretly diminished without you knowing.
In MODERATION…. a STEADY, CONSISTENT inflation rate is generally seen as a healthy indicator of our economy, because people know what to expect, businesses can plan accordingly, and it’s slow enough that most of us won’t notice any major change day by day. That’s why the United States tries to aim for as close to 2% annual inflation rate as possible.
The PROBLEM, however, is when inflation begins to eat away at the purchasing power of your money, FASTER than you’re able to make it…and, right now…WAGES simply can’t rise fast enough.
On the ONE HAND: The Federal Reserve believes that the inflation we’re seeing is TRANSITIONARY, caused primarily by supply chain and shipping bottlenecks which TEMPORARILY increase our own costs…but, others believe that it’s a direct result of excessive spending and stimulus packages, leading us closer and closer to a point of no return..

Any country that depends heavily on another country will.get what it deserves.
Stop voting for politicians that are okay with printing money, raising taxes and spending recklessly. Replace them with people that will respect your paycheck and your ability to retire. America would do very, very well with a Congress full of Rand Paul’s.
What’s not mentioned in this video is that the Fed has reworked their inflation calculation to fit their inflation target. Real inflation average is over 15% now and will be getting worse.
IF the new policy on NGL,Crude ect, like shutting down gas lines, fracking contracts and on and on the gas , propane and natural gas wouldn’t have increased the way it did.
Not much longer and the markets will have the rug pull. Bears will have thier day sooner than later
Isn’t there something else that we can do to hedge against inflation?
knew this was gonna happen… Feds printed SO much in 2020 and enriched themselves itll make us ALL POOR in 2021
We concern about rise in inflation, but never concern about price rise in bitcoin.
Bro get Biden out of the White House rn.
I think I just learned more from this video than a few months of finance class
The answer to this inflation problem is quite simple..everyone burn a dollar.
Lame
What’s the “do this now” about… I love the information and hit that like button… but what should I do now with my money?
Bought a house in 2020 for 326,000 and now it’s worth 385,000. Gonna hold on until mid 2022 and jump ship lol.
Lets go Brandon
Thanks for watching and commenting……..
Shadow inflation should be illegal. To me it is bait and switch. Which is illegal.
Don’t listen to Jack Dorsey. He is a complete idiot and moron. We are not going to experience hyper inflation. We are experiencing greater inflation than we have for a long time and it is not transitory like the liars at the FED and in the Biden Administation have been saying.
A lot of the troubles and issues we are facing is down to regulation and poor government decisions. The FED has been kicking the can down the road for such a long time that the eventual pop will now be so much worse just like you say! The US has $29 Trillion Dollars of Debt and that is only the National Debt.
If the price of Tesla, Apple or any other stock goes up to $1,000,000 dollars what use is that if the cost of a loaf of bread goes up to $2000? Have you gained or lost? Has the stock market gone up in price or has the value of the underlying currency the US Dollar halved?
Don’t forget, Graham, that the fed uses only certain items to determine what the inflation rate is.
Thanks for watching and commenting…….
When people dislike a video thinking it will affect them when actually it still helping them 😂
Have y’all not seen people get way crazy more amount of dislike then likes and that itself gave them leverage and value 💀
Inflation is theft. Robert Breedlove
The fact you don’t mention the federal reserve being formed, fractional reserve banking, and the repeal of the gold standard proves you’re actively trying to obfuscate what really going on
Bro. It’s a beginner video chill
Why do you ask to like the video at the very beginning:) We can like the video only after watching the content😁
Cannot inflate like button if we are watching on smart tv 🙁
You call it inflation I called corporate greed
Graham has a dragon skull next to him . RAWRRR 🦖 🦖 🦖 not a T-Rex a DRAGON
More beneficial to keep making youtube videos I guess…
Just know that whatever happens youll be fine if you watch your money. Stay frugal my friends!
Bye…. I’m inscribing. You lost my respect on promoting shitcoin. Unbelievable 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
So im trying to save up for a newer more efficient car, is there something i should be investing in as to where I can sell when i have enough money?
Haha, Graham is a typical cantillionaire: “I’m getting paid to borrow money which is an absolutely amazing concept”. How rich do you need to be before you stop seeing people around you getting screwed by this theft?
Dislike for being disgusting
Great video, Graham. You are my go-to Youtuber for all things finance and for good reason. Thank you.
Before covid, people were spending like idiots and not budgeting /saving money. During covid, the governement decided it was a good idea to reward every single one of those idiots by giving them free money, this is where we’re at now….
Thanks for watching and commenting……
LETS GO BRANDON!!!!!!!!
Graham… Thanks for watching and commenting……..
Inflation profit killers…arrrrr
Graham…. Thanks for watching and commenting……..
“Let’s go Brandon”
I am getting dizzy from your wild gesturing every time I watch your videos.
👎
Let’s go Brandon. Also will inflation cause stocks prices to go up or down
Spyros Panopoulos and the hydrogen
How much longer until people and their wages cannot keep up with rising costs. What happens then? An entire economic meltdown?
Pretty sure item sizes have changed too. Its been a while since I bought shampoo and the sizes are much smaller compared to what I remember.
I’ll take the inflation its companies take the hit on profits too. But let’s keep our eyes on that.
man I see a lot of “Let’s go brandon!” in the chat 🤣🤣
Unfortunately too many sheeple follow the leftist media narrative that worship real life “Lisa Simpson”: greta thunberg who is too stupid to understand how bad it is for the environment that we spend so much fuel to transport shrinkflation of half filled goods with more packaging and more waste, and how many more years added to our working life instead of retiring putting more wear and tear on the roads and consumption of fossil fuels. Bitcoin fixes this problem.
That $15 minimum wage..smh
Let’s be honest. The reason inflation has been kept so tame is because they kept readjusting how they measured inflation. In fact, inflation has been going high for some time.
bravo
THE ONLY COST THATS NOT MENTIONED IS TRANSPORTATION COST GOING UP BECAUSE IT COST THEM MORE FUEL DRIVER WAGES CORP WAGES CORP COST SO I ADDED IT IN REMEBER THAT
You people do not think the bottle neck was not done on purpose by the gov you would be wrong
10:38 Not Diversified enough
Should be 25% Etherium, 25% Bitcoin, then 50% Dogecoin.
The gas prices are high thanks to “GO BRANDON”.
Hope all the Libs are loving it!!!
Stupid comments under smart videos make me sad.
If inflation goes up, why aren’t employers just being held responsible to increase salaries? Cause if inflation goes up, prices go up. Well, where does that price go? Back to the employer/company/seller. So if we just increase salaries by the same amount as inflation, everything is back to normal, right?
OMG, what about property taxes? You can’t shop around for that. I now have property taxes higher than my mortgage and just got a notice of 18% increase for next year. This administration wants landlords, except for congressmen, to lose their properties
Let’s go Brandon
Man I would love to have a conversation with you. Hahaha your so interesting. I feel like we could talk for hours.
Nothing about covid being the root cause? Pretty sure if we were able to eliminate it sooner we would be out of this sooner. If only we had some kind of miracle cure/drug…
Can you talk about the “buy, borrow, die” strategy and is it a smart idea to borrow from “pledge asset line” vs living off from capital gains during early retirement?
If they used the old way that they calculated inflation we are on par or higher then on record ever. They remove or add things from CPI to fudge the numbers.
*YOU AMERICANS VOTED FOR BLITHERING BIDEN AND HIS OPEN BORDERS PLAN, STOPPING PIPELINES, WHAT ELSE YOU EXPECT……ENJOY* 😂😂😂😂😂
The problem is, most of the classic hedges against inflation already have expected inflation priced in.
Chick fil a chicken sandwiches got smaller btw

Thanks demoncrats, We need Trump back badly
“A penny saved is a penny earned only if taxes don’t exist. In inflationary times (hint: we are always in inflationary times), it’s better to save by purchasing in bulk now, while prices are low, rather than wait and purchase during rising prices.” — Financial guru Andrew Tobias
Welcome to Brazil World KKKKKK
Your argument for so called healthy inflation is sooo flawed.
Yay to making less money.. 😬
Yeah, thanks to Sleepy Joe 😅
Smh
Not worst than I expected and I’m a dumb ass! People just can’t break out if their wishful thinking.
What to do starts at 10:00
Let’s Go Brandon!!!
👍
I mean you technically did intro 🤔
But do you reply?
Prices are not only higher because of inflation. Our homes, and cars, are more complex than ever and cost more because they’re better too. Far better. And nobody cares about the YouTube algorithm. Nobody wants to like your video to please some computer algorithm. Surely you could convince more people to 👍 the video for YOU!
Keep bringing the price up to where it effects all, effects the rich!!!! I will be happy when this happens!
I have got something new to introduce to you
At this point I’ll take any advice I can get. I only just last year gained some degree of financial stability after struggling with my student loans and finding a stable job. Sadly I don’t have any investments so any advice is greatly welcomed.
I don’t want anymore stimulus checks, they ain’t free. We all have to pay it back.
GDP has recovered from prepandemic levels in real terms. Imports are actually at all time highs. Yeah, there’s 100 boats off Long Beach right now, but in this instance money dominates, its the elephant in the room. The extra money is causing excess demand which looks like a shortage to us. The government doesn’t want to take the blame for the inflation it is causing so it blames supply chain issues and sure, you can point to some, but the money creation is what’s driving this.
👍🏽👍🏽
Inflation is bad, always bad. There is not such thing as “a little bit is good”. This video deserves unsubscription.
Very informative video!!
They’re not making you pay more for less, they’re making you pay the same for less. So you’re just paying more for the same amount. Make sense?
*message me for more enquiry*✌️✌️
I dont believe that inflation chart is correct. During the years of the great depression when it took a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread inflation definitely skyrocketed. 1929- thru 31-32 i believe
Also a bunch of things online are centralized and pieces of information are sometimes edited by others. Who exaclty? Wouldnt even know where to start Graham. Though thats why this decentralized blockchain is a blessing.
Useless video ,is this documentary for inflation ?????
inflated the like button
He said to inflate the like button.. so.. it gets the inflation!!!!
Biden bad. Trump good. Biden will bankrupt America. Bring back Trump. We didn’t see the problems we have today under Trump. Your votes have consequences.
Graham’s falling off hard , his videos ain’t as authentic as they use to be
U speak way too fast omg
Just be careful the fed will pull the carpet when it hurts the most… If this inflation would continue that would be great, a new fair equilibrium would be reached… but noooooo the fed is there to skew the economy in favor of the corrupt.
Ahh hyper inflation, the consequence of a world where all currencies are fiat 😀
Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.
Good to remind people of this right now; you buy on fear and sell on greed or just hold through it all for the long term. It’s easy but lots of people forget.
This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a US-based finance consultant by name Jessica Meador Jones and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment.
@Emily Dixon Really? Well, I used to have a professional but his license was withdrawn along the line, so I continued on my own. Anyway, how can I reach your adviser or someone as good?
@steph o’neil ‘her reach out details are available for everyone on the web”’..’
I got headache listening to you for 5mins. It could be a 2 min vid.
OMG, man.
Tha fact that you have mouth doesn’t mean you should talk all day long.
