Description:

Today, Clark explains the confusion around how various interest rates are set, from savings & CDs, to credit cards and car loans. He explores the "K-shaped" economy, where a flood of cash into savings and CDs drives down returns – even at online banks, and how the "convenience trap" can cost consumers thousands on all kinds of loans. Also, good news at the grocery store: the "store brand revolution" is working. After years of price hikes, name brand giants are finally slashing prices on snacks to win back customers.
