Making Cents: Financial expert shares everyday habit to rethink
STANISLAUS COUNTY 571. SO TIME NOW FOR OUR MAKING SENSE SEGMENT, WHICH DEFINITELY MAKES SENSE THESE DAYS WITH CAPTRUST FINANCIAL ADVISOR, CATHERINE MCCALL. CATHERINE.

BANK OF AMERICA CAME OUT WITH A STUDY FROM MARCH 21ST THAT WEEK SHOWING THAT DEBIT AND CREDIT CARD USERS WERE USING 19% MORE ON GASOLINE THAN THEY WERE A YEAR AGO. THAT’S A REAL PINCH, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE INFLATION NUMBERS THIS FRIDAY COMING OUT ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WE PUT TOGETHER IN TERM
