Between October 2025 and April 2026, crude oil prices skyrocketed by 65%, jumping from $65 to $107 per barrel. This isn't just a number for economists, it's a hidden tax that affects every aspect of your life - from the cost of the tomatoes on your plate to the "Shrinkflation" in your biscuit packet. We discuss how the government is artificially holding fuel prices while excise duties drop, and how private players are already charging more. I break down the "Personal Inflation" vs. "Official Inflation" trap and provide a survival guide covering everything from centers for cheaper medicines to the power of AI-driven upskilling to increase your income. #Inflation #MiddleClass #warikoo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps I use for Investing: Ditto - for unbiased insurance buying experience: https://ditto.sh/7u17m0 Zerodha - for Indian Stock Investing: https://zerodha.com/open-account?c=ZM...
