Good Morning!

If the economy is improving, why does everything still feel so expensive?

Your grocery bill is higher. Buying a home feels out of reach for more Americans. Saving for retirement is harder. And for millions of seniors, the annual Social Security increase is supposed to help them keep pace.

All of those things are connected to a number we hear about constantly: the cost of living.

But here’s the bigger question: Does the number everyone quotes actually reflect what you’re paying?

In this week’s Flyover Focus, Amy digs into how the cost of living is really calculated—and why the official figure doesn’t always match what you see at the grocery store, in your mortgage payment, or in your bank account.

We look at who’s feeling the squeeze the most, whether Social Security increases are actually keeping up, and one number buried in the data that helps explain why rising costs hit some Americans much harder than others.

➤ Your groceries. Your mortgage. Your savings. Your retirement check. They’re all part of the equation. But the number may not tell the whole story. (Watch Flyover Focus)
