How Raises Are Finally Beating the Cost of a Used Car

from Wages and Prices with Fexingo: Cost of Living, Pay Raises, and Workers' Purchasing Power · host Fexingo

In this episode of Wages and Prices with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna look at the surprising trend in used car prices. Despite a historically tight market, auction prices for used cars have been falling for months, while wages continue to climb. They discuss what this means for the average worker looking to buy a dependable vehicle, and why the shift might be here to stay. With average hourly earnings up to $37.60 and used car prices down significantly from their 2022 peak, the hosts explore how this gap is finally closing for consumers. They also touch on the broader implications for inflation and the Federal Reserve's next moves. Tune in for a grounded, data-driven look at one of the most tangible ways your paycheck is stretching further. #UsedCars #WagesVsPrices #CarPrices #Inflation #PurchasingPower #AutoMarket #Economics #FederalReserve #WageGrowth #CPI #JobReport #ConsumerSpending #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicTrends #CostOfLiving #VehiclePrices Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
