People online have called out Newsom as racist 112 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: with a long list of memes on social media. Let's 113 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers at the White House. So, Karen, 114 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: President Trump said to give his first State of the 115 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: Union in his second term and tell us what we 116 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: should expect. 117 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 7: Well, the Wite House doesn't really provided previews of this 118 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 7: speech so far. The President yesterday dave a preview by 119 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 7: just saying it is going to be a long speech 120 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 7: because we have so much to talk about, so prepare, 121 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 7: buckle up. It could be a late one. He does 122 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 7: give long speeches. I think you can expect he'll go 123 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 7: off script. But you know, notably, we didn't have a 124 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 7: briefing with the White House yesterday where they gave the 125 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 7: preview with themes and major topics. But this is the 126 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 7: best chance, really for the President to have the biggest 127 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 7: audience to make his case for what he has put 128 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 7: in place with policies and what he wants to do 129 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 7: over the next year to three years in terms of 130 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 7: an agenda. And obviously you have the midterm elections looming 131 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 7: in November. Control of Congress is at stake, and the 132 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 7: President is coming into this speech with some significant headwinds 133 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 7: in the polls right now. Our latest ab Seniors Washington 134 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 7: Post poll shows the sixty percent of Americans disapprove of 135 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 7: the job he is doing in office. That's the highest 136 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 7: since he was re elected, and it matches his disapproval 137 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 7: rating when he left office back in January of twenty 138 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 7: twenty one. When you look at the issues he issues, 139 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 7: like inflation, tariffs, immigration, the economy, a majority of Americans 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 7: disapprove of his handling of all of those key issues. 141 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 7: So tonight he's got to make a sales pitch to 142 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 7: try and convince people that what he is doing is 143 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 7: the right path forward. But it's a tough sales pitch 144 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 7: when you look at some of those. 145 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: Numbers well, and especially because when you you know when 146 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: the audience you're going for, like the pitch you're making 147 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: the people who support him are probably going to go, yeah, 148 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: we like that, and the people who don't aren't going 149 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: to necessarily change their minds to go, oh yeah, I 150 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: think that's great. So it's interesting because everybody's polarized. 151 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 6: It is. 152 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 7: But you know when you look at you know, so 153 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 7: quickly one year in after a reelection to have a 154 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 7: thirty nine percent approval rating, and it's low. And his 155 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 7: numbers have fallen, especially on issues where he had had, 156 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 7: you know, a favorability and an advantage immigration in the border, 157 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 7: his numbers have fallen on that. There's been certainly a 158 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 7: change of public opinion and perception on ice enforcement in 159 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 7: recent months, and so tonight again he has a chance 160 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 7: to make a case on that. It's not clear if 161 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 7: it's going to be new policies, new proposals, or doubling 162 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 7: down and explaining what he has done. We'll see what 163 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 7: the President says tonight, Karen. 164 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Do they normally give you a copy of the speech 165 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: ahead of time? 166 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 7: Normally so some administrations administrations usually like minutes. Some administrations 167 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 7: do minutes before you know, it's like embargoed. Until this 168 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 7: administration does not and will not the biding the administration 169 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 7: didn't either.

Now at six o 281 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: five tandle on the news Trump's Classified Documents investigation, I'm 282 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: going to stay classified. Let's say good morning now to 283 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim. 284 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 6: Amy funny you should mention that about the LA City 285 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 6: Council and mitigation efforts for wildfires given what happened last year. 286 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 6: Of course, the North American Seasonal Fire Assessment and Outlook 287 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 6: issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, which is a 288 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 6: dot Gov just releaates its prediction for the coming year. 289 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: And yes, it's going to be a high fire season. 290 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 6: It starts now, it goes all the way through April 291 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 6: and beyond. But yes, there is an elevated risk across 292 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 6: much of the country. There is a new piece of software, 293 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 6: an AI driven piece of machine learning called mitigate that's 294 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 6: offered by some Australian company called FISI. Not only one 295 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: department as far as I know, is using it, it's 296 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 6: in Central Texas. But the current conditions or future conditions, 297 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 6: the fuel load, that is, how much vegetation is around, 298 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 6: the rain, precipitation. All this is fed into this piece 299 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 6: of machine learning and it spits out a map showing 300 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 6: where the highest fire risk for that coming period might be, 301 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 6: which allows planners to go out and say, okay, here 302 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 6: in East LA, you've got this much fire risk in 303 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 6: this area here, and you need to cut back your 304 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 6: vegetat so far. So this is an interesting tool that 305 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 6: I suspectfully get more use this year. 306 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: Okay, So it's more of a as you mentioned, a 307 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: mitigation thing like that that it'll identify the high risk 308 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: areas and then that gives the fire departments to state 309 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: fire crews the opportunity to go in and hopefully mitigate 310 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: the danger. 311 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, And I mean the program itself is called Mitigate. 312 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 6: The software is so yeah, it's a predictive tool. Now 313 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 6: is it one hundred percent? We don't know that because 314 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 6: it hasn't been put in a widespread use yet. Is 315 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 6: it millions and millions of dollars to try to prevent 316 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 6: billions of losses? According to Travis County, the place where 317 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 6: it's being used right now, down in Central Texas, it's 318 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 6: eighteen hundred bucks. 319 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: Oh wow, I was going to ask you about it, like, 320 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: because I was thinking, you know, if AI can access everything, 321 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: why pay for it? But if it's eighteen hundred bucks, 322 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: somebody's already figured out how to do it, right, why 323 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: not's and it myself for having's sake? 324 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 325 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, So I was kind I was wondering too, 326 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: like how far does it go? Because like our wildfires, 327 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: the Palisades and the Eton fires last year. Yeah, we 328 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: had weather conditions that cropped up a few days before 329 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: saying yeah, these winds are going to be crazy, and 330 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: the you know, the because they're the Santa Ana winds, 331 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: the commidity is low and that kind of stuff.

Warner Brothers is going to consider 512 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 13: this new paramount offer if they deem it superior Amy, 513 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 13: then Netflix, which already has that deal with WBD, Right, 514 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 13: they'll have four days to respond. So I don't know. 515 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 13: This prize is just so big. Neither of these competing 516 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 13: companies look like they ever are going to give up, 517 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 13: not only because they need the prize, right, but because 518 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 13: of how much it will hurt them if their competitor 519 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 13: wins it. 520 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: You know what I always think is so interesting about 521 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, this wheeling and dealing. Is Paramount 522 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: Skuydance is making a hostile takeover bid. Right they had 523 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: the deal with Netflix. They were like, this is what 524 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: we want to do, and sky Dances or Paramount's like, 525 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: now we want it. I wouldn't want to do a 526 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: business with a company that is trying to horn in 527 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: on a deal that's already been done. 528 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: I mean kind of, I kind of disagree. 529 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 13: I mean, you're not wrong, but at the same time, 530 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 13: everything is driven by lawyers, and lawyers are trained by 531 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 13: profession to think it is not over. There is never 532 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 13: a deal that can't be undone or broken or contested 533 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 13: or improved on. This is not like about morals. This 534 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 13: is like business. 535 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 4: Maybe that's why I have a problem with it. Denise 536 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: could be. 537 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: All right, well, you were talking about prices, and on 538 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum, let's go to Norvo 539 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: or Novo Nordis and they're cutting prices. 540 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 13: This is big news for people who don't have coverage 541 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 13: for Wigovi or Zombiic but want it because Novo Nordist 542 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 13: says it's going to cut the monthly price six hundred 543 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 13: and seventy five dollars a month. That's cut by as 544 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 13: much as fifty percent. Still expensive, but way more reachable 545 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 13: for a lot of people. And this could be good news. 546 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 13: This will start next year, and this really ups the 547 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 13: competition with rival Eli Lilly. 548 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 4: Okay, and then this is funny. 549 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: It's turning into a Hunger Games kind of thing for 550 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: workers when it comes to bonuses. 551 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean Hunger Games, of course, the quintessential story 552 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 13: of a zero sum game. 553 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 7: Right. 554 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 13: The companies have this bonus pool, and increasingly they're just 555 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 13: giving a huge chunk of that to their top performers 556 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 13: and then kind of ignoring everybody else. According to recent 557 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 13: corn Fairy analysis, it's really creating a kind of two 558 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 13: tier system. The big stars are getting nice fat raises 559 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 13: and non stars so that they might not get raises 560 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 13: in line with inflation or as you're kind of thinking, 561 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 13: some of those people are not getting rasis at all. 562 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: Worker bees get nothing.

City council woman 604 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: Tracy Park says the bills are, in her words, entirely 605 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: tone deaf to those who lost everything. More than fifty 606 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: six hundred flights have been canceled around the US as 607 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: a powerful blizzard bombarded the East Coast.

Let's say good morning now to 618 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: the host of How to Money on KFI, Joel Lars Guard. 619 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: Morning Joel, Good morning, Amy. 620 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 4: Okay, so. 621 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: There is some frustration and maybe there's something you can 622 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: do to help, but homeowners say that rising maintenance costs 623 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: really becoming a problem. 624 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, they are, so, like we all know, prices have 625 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 11: gone up, and man, I still remember in the very 626 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 11: beginning days of the pandemic and what was happening with 627 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 11: like lumber prices, and those have leveled out. But when 628 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 11: you think about the cost of and when you look 629 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 11: at the kind of a graph essentially of what goes 630 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 11: into the cost of home maintenance and repair, well, labor 631 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 11: is actually the most expensive component. So let's say you're 632 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 11: building a deck or something on the back of your house, 633 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 11: which is something I've considered, and then I got quotes 634 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 11: and I was like, I don't know, maybe I won't 635 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 11: go through and. 636 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 3: Get that deck built. 637 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 11: The biggest portion of the cost that you're going to 638 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 11: pay is for labor. So this when people are like 639 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 11: talking about home ownership and the pros and cons, you 640 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 11: really have to factor in how much not just you know, 641 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 11: the cost of renovating or adding on could be, but 642 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 11: just a cost of traditional maintenance that you might have 643 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 11: to perform over a given year. And this is something 644 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 11: in a new survey that people are finding. Actually it's 645 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 11: one of the most frustrating realities of home ownership is 646 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 11: how much it costs just to maintain the thing I bought. 647 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: So what I mean like, so just do it yourself 648 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: is a way to bring those prices down, but you 649 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: kind of need some expertise to do that. 650 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 4: Sometimes it is I think. 651 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 11: That's certainly, that's certainly one route you can take. And 652 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 11: one of my best friends is like, this is his jam, right, 653 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 11: and so he's like learning how to plumb it. He 654 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 11: do plumbing. He installed his own toilet recently, and not 655 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 11: just a new toilet, but like the plumbing underneath it 656 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 11: to take it out to the sewage out of the 657 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 11: street and stuff like that. Which is awesome, and you 658 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,239 Speaker 11: know YouTube, there's all sorts of great information on there 659 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 11: if you want to learn the basics or even you know, 660 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 11: go beyond the basics of a lot of these home 661 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 11: repair things. So I guess that's one thing worth highlighting 662 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 11: is if you are inclined in that direction, interested in that, Yeah, 663 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 11: it's going to take you more time than it's going 664 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 11: to take the professional, but it could save you a 665 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 11: ton of money. Also, be careful because like we were 666 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 11: talking about doing electrical and yeah, there's obviously chances for 667 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 11: bigger injuries to just any bigger injuries and bigger costs 668 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 11: because of that. But yeah, the other thing worth mentioning 669 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 11: is just to make sure that you're budgeting, that you're 670 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 11: setting aside for these potential costs. Especially there's different rules 671 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 11: of thumb depends on how old your home is and 672 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 11: how old some of the major systems are, Like, for instance, 673 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 11: how old is your roof, how old is your water heater, 674 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 11: how old is your hvac. Those are important things to 675 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 11: take in the consideration. If the HVAC and the roof 676 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 11: are both twenty years old, you're going to want to 677 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 11: air on the higher side of the rule. Of thumb, 678 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 11: having something like three percent of your home home's value 679 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 11: set aside every single year to pay for these these 680 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 11: rising maintenance costs. If your home is newer, in pretty 681 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 11: good condition, and you probably things are still going to 682 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 11: go wrong, but you're probably gonna want to budget something 683 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 11: more like one percent of your total homes value for maintenance. 684 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 11: But it's one of those things comes up the territory. 685 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 11: And this is again why I'm not anti renting like 686 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 11: so many people are personal finance space. I think you 687 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 11: can do quite well as a renter. And it also 688 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 11: means you've got less of that unknown in terms of 689 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 11: maintenance costs hanging over your head. 690 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 4: That's a really good point. 691 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: Okay, So I want to because we don't have a 692 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: ton of time left, but I want to talk about 693 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: this grocery shopping because prices when I go to the 694 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: grocery store, I still go it's how much when I 695 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: get to the checkout, because even though there are some 696 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: things that are going down because you see it, but 697 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: it's still high. 698 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 4: So how can we combat this? 699 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, there has been fortunately in a lot of parts 700 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 11: of the grocery store, prices have moderated meaningfully, and so 701 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 11: we're just not seeing at least skyrocketing prices where we're 702 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 11: just like whoa or shrinkflation happening in nearly the way 703 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 11: it was two or three years ago. One exception in 704 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 11: that rule is beef right, And so I think stake 705 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 11: prices are up or like seventeen percent year over year 706 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 11: compared with an average rise of two percent overall in 707 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 11: the grocery store. So definitely avoiding what was already one 708 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 11: of the most expensive things you could buy to put 709 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 11: in your meal is one good thing to do. Substituted 710 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 11: for chickens. Chickens waye cheaper and especially for the cheaper 711 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 11: cuts of chicken. But there was Kiplinger had an article 712 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 11: about grocery shopping strategies that can help you save money. 713 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 11: And one of the things I think that's underutilized that 714 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 11: I don't do often enough, but when I do, man 715 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 11: it feels so good, is to essentially empty your pantry, 716 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 11: empty your freezer, empty your fridge, plan your meals for 717 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 11: this week or for next week around stuff you already 718 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 11: have on hand, and only go to the grocery store 719 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 11: to fill in the gaps. And so this is this 720 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 11: is just a way to waste less to kind of 721 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 11: clear out some of the clutter that's in your pantry, 722 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 11: use some of the stuff that you might have been 723 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 11: kind of pushing back because you don't want necessarily to 724 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 11: eat that can of beans in the soup or whatever. 725 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 11: And and and so if you I think this is 726 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 11: a really this is a really good way to declutter 727 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 11: some of your the food that you have on hand 728 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 11: and to stretch your grocery dollar further. I think so 729 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 11: many of us love it's it's just it's just easy 730 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 11: to go to the make a list and come up 731 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 11: with it and stick to that list and make new meals. 732 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 11: But if you can use some of the stuff you 733 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 11: already have on hand, it's just a great way to 734 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 11: save money, at least for a little while. 735 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: I like that idea, especially because the decluttering aspect of it, 736 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: because sometimes stuff gets in the clause in your cupboards 737 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: and it gets pushed to the back and then you 738 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: look at it and it goes, oh, expired in twenty 739 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: twenty one or something like that. So maybe it's a 740 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: good idea to make sure you know what's in your cupboard. 741 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 11: We try to do this, especially before we go on 742 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 11: a trip. Right It's like Okay, let's not go to 743 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 11: the grocery store that last week. Let's just use everything 744 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 11: we have in the pantry, and then when you come 745 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 11: home you place another big grocery order. But it's nice 746 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 11: to feel like you just kind of ate everything you 747 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 11: had on hand before you left town. 748 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 4: All right. 749 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: The host of how to Money on KFI, Joel Larsguard. 750 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: You can also listen to his podcast, It's the how 751 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: to Money Podcast.
