About this episode
Paying through the nose for various bills and to live day to day life is not a good thing.
Sometimes we are being taken for a ride by our local government, local councils and central government too.
Todays podcast looks at a raft of recent stories from the UK that include:
* Latest Government Infrastructure projects and why they are good but probably very inflationary
* Council Tax Bill increases of up to 25%!!!
* A potential inflation hedging solution (not a financial recommendation)
