# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Inflooootion]( https://www.supersurvey.com/resultsQBED1VJ5H)
In this weekly we consoom infloootion! As you may be aware many products, utilities, and services have risen in price. Consider the increased cost of gasoline which has caused many to budget differently. Even if you look at the inflation of currency the USD has inflated by ~8.5%. True this might not seem like that big of a deal if you consider that $100 in 2021 would be worth ~$106 today in 2022. However, inflation is something that creeps up over time. For example, $100 in 2000 would be worth ~$166 today. The goal of this weekly is to come up with and share strategies to mitigate the effects of inflation.
Discussion ideas:
* Have you noticed inflation throughout your life or are you only now starting to notice it?
* Is inflation the cause for the rising price of many things like gasoline? How related is this to COVID and Ukraine? Will prices return to “normal” soon?
* Share any ideas which you think might mitigate the effects of inflation in your life? E.g., budgeting advice, saving money, stocks, investing in commodities, cryptocurrencies, etc...
