The cost of living crisis is real, but Nick argues that constant outrage and “quick-fix” politics won’t improve your situation. He breaks down what he believes is driving higher prices, why popular policy ideas can backfire, and what practical moves individuals can make to stay ahead—whether that’s changing where you live, increasing your earning power, or adjusting to new economic realities. The episode ends with a mindset shift: focus on high-agency action over learned helplessness.
