About the Book

You got a raise. So why does your paycheck feel smaller?

Prices have climbed for years, and the official inflation rate never seems to match what you pay at the register, the pump or the rent office. The Inflation-Proof Paycheck is a practical, step-by-step 30-day plan for working households who are tired of falling behind.

In 30 days you will:

- Find your personal inflation rate and the three bills driving it

- Track where your money really goes and stop the "leaks"

- Cut grocery costs with a price book and a five-dinner plan

- Lower internet, phone, insurance and medical bills with word-for-word scripts

- Pay down high-interest debt with a clear payoff map

- Earn more on savings while interest rates are high

- Raise your credit score and your paycheck, with evidence

Includes 13 fill-in worksheets you can use again every year. From the author of Inflation or Interest Rates?
