This week, I’ve got 3 major financial headlines for you..

First up, the stock market had its 6th consecutive down week in a row... what’s causing the downward trend and when will the market free fall end?
Next, the Fed is fully committed to reigning in inflation - and at their May meeting, they raised the target rate by 50bps. What else is included with tightening monetary policy and what does it mean for your family finances?
Finally, while the Fed seeks to reign in inflation, April CPI numbers show it still remains elevated. Where is inflation getting better and where is it still rising?

… after that, this week I’m taking a deep dive with 3 early childhood education experts to talk about the childcare dilemma: why is childcare so expensive, while childcare providers are paid so little? Is this all caused by the pandemic? And what can and should policymakers be doing to make things better.
