Hold onto your wallets—next year’s Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is gunning harder than this year’s. Inflation’s ghost still haunts, and Uncle Sam’s math says you’ll need it.
Why it matters: Seniors and beneficiaries are caught in the crossfire of rising costs and bureaucratic bandaids. The COLA boost? Just enough to keep up with your pricier cereal—maybe.
The kicker: While Washington pats itself on the back, remember—this isn’t generosity. It’s survival arithmetic. And Wall Street? Too busy betting on crypto to care about your grocery bill.
