Inflation revisited
Economist Seth Gitter tackles some of my recent questions about inflation on his blog today. Thanks, Seth! He and commenters Gregorus and Rachel have got me thinking deeper on this topic, and my editor just gave me the go-ahead to do a big-picture inflation story sometime in the next month or so.
I'm not sure which direction my eventual article will head, but in my early information-gathering stage these are the questions on my mind:
* How is inflation being experienced now? (In this community, across the U.S., around the globe.)
* What is causing it?
* What should we do in the face of rising inflation, as individual consumers?
Feel free to e-mail me at work (courtney.sherwood AT columbian (dot) com) or to comment here if you have more insight that might help me.

As long as you're saving for a house, things are actually looking pretty rosy!

Thanks for the blog idea and the link. I'll try to think about those specific questions, it is a lot to tackle.
I look forward to reading your piece when it comes out. I think an interesting view may look at how inflation impacts different age groups.

Neat. When the inflation article is done maybe post a link here or the other place where I read your stuff!
