PREPARE

Depending on how you prepare, retirement can be the most rewarding or stressful time of your life.

TRANSITION

LATEST RETIREMENT INSIGHTS

By Bret Laporte November 11, 2022
The consumer price index increased 0.4% for the month and is up 7.7 percent from a year ago according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While price increases are still rapid and painful for many households, they are finally beginning to show signs of progress. The inflation index picked up by 7.7 percent in the year through October*, less than the 7.9 percent that some analysts had expected. Even with this positive news, inflation remains well above the Fed’s 2% target and several areas of the report show that the cost of living remains high. Shelter costs, which make up about one-third of the CPI, rose 0.8% for the month, the largest monthly increase since 1990, and up 6.9% from a year ago, their highest annual level since 1982*. Also, fuel oil prices jumped 19.8% higher for the month and are up 68.5% over the past 12 months*. “One month of data does not a victory make, and I think it’s really important to be thoughtful that this is just one piece of positive information, but we’re looking at a whole set of information,” San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said in response to the CPI data. _ Depending on how you prepare, retirement can be the most rewarding or stressful time of your life.

New inflation data released on Thursday showed that consumer prices climbed far more quickly than expected with a rise of .4% in September (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics) as inflation pressures continue to weigh on retirees and the economy at large. The food index alone rose 0.8% for the month and is up 11.2% from a year ago. That increase helped offset a 2.1% decline in energy prices that included a 4.9% drop in gasoline. Energy prices have moved higher in October, with the price of regular gasoline at the pump nearly 20 cents higher than a month ago, according to AAA.
