Latest / Inflation Explained with Fexingo: CPI, Prices, and the Cost of Living for Everyday People
The Sticker Shock of Services Inflation
Inflation isn't just about groceries or gas anymore. As of September 2026, the CPI sits at 334.1 while core prices remain sticky around 337.8. We explore why services like insurance, healthcare, and home maintenance are driving the cost of living higher than goods. Lucas and Luna break down the wage-price dynamics in service sectors, why consumer sentiment is dropping despite a solid economy, and what that $1,700 household energy shock means for your monthly budget. It's not a recession; it's a structural shift in what we pay for.
