Money News: Save Money on Commuting Costs in a Changing Economy

Learn practical financial tips to save on rising commuting costs as workers increasingly return to the office. Before discussing the rising costs of commuting, hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski review noteworthy financial headlines, including the Federal Reserve's influence on interest rates, the latest Commerce Department report on retail sales, the Mercer CFA Institute’s Global Pension Index ranking of 47 different kinds of retirement systems from around the world, and the IRS's pilot program for free tax preparation software called Direct File. Then, Sean and Anna welcome NerdWallet’s Liz Renter to take a deep dive into the escalating costs of commuting to work. The Nerds explore the demographics of commuters, factors driving car ownership costs, the fluctuation in gas prices and the international events affecting fuel costs, and the used car market. They also discuss whether consumers can expect relief in the near future and share practical strategies for keeping costs down. In their conversation, the Nerds discuss: personal finance, money news, commuting, car ownership, money headlines, the Federal Reserve, interest rates, retirement systems, the IRS, tax preparation software, commuting costs, auto insurance, gas prices, used car prices, economic trends, carpooling, savings, consumer spending, government debt, wealth, retirement savings, and fuel costs.
