During the September 22nd Noon Business Hour, Craig provided tips on how to not get robbed by inflation especially when it comes to retirement money. Craig advised that everyone needs an emergency fund, however, we should not keep large amounts of money in bank accounts with low interest rates. Instead, the money should be invested in bonds as well as stocks of American companies with great track records of growing people’s incomes. Craig recommended retirees work with financial planners to put all “inflation beaters” in place so that the retirement funds are not drained.
