Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Happy Valentine's Day!!!! On this dedicated day of love, Jeff and Jake start us out, as they typically do, with this week's market update. Following that update is some information on inflation. Jake tries to sell someone a $97 pencil. Talk about a rip off. And goes on to make me wonder how much time he's spent researching chickens. Jeff talks about retail sales which, by the end, looped back around to inflation again.
