Guest: Karon Liu, Toronto Star food reporter When one Toronto restaurant introduced a $25 cauliflower dish more than 10 years ago, it caused a bit of a stir at its eye-popping price. When Star reporter Karon Liu recently noticed the price of the same dish was now $41, it sent him to look at the steeply rising cost of meals out. It's a trend driven by food inflation, wage inflation, rent inflation and a host of other factors. And for many diners, it means eating out is becoming less and less of an attractive option. Which doesn't mean the restauranteurs are suddenly flush—the drop-off in diners means it's even harder for them to make up in volume what they might lose by cutting prices. PLUS: Our food writer's instructions on what to do if $41 is too steep a price for you

Using relatable anecdotes and economic analysis, he exposes how both parties condition taxpayers to accept never-ending taxes, buried in prices and masked by political spin. With Kevin O'Leary's recent comments and Trump's “Liberation Day” tariff proposals as a springboard, Markowski warns that Americans are being boiled like frogs—slowly, invisibly, and without protest. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Shoot us a Text.We're brimming with energy on this Tuesday morning, as we discuss VW's decision to originate its US auto loans through Wells Fargo. Plus we talk about the growing gap between car buying expectations and car buying reality and how auto debt just continues to grow.Show Notes with links:Volkswagen is ceasing to originate U.S. auto loans for Audi and VW through its in-house finance division, Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS). Starting in April, Wells Fargo will take over this responsibility.Wells Fargo will be responsible for processing all loan applications, underwriting, and servicing loans for VW and Audi customers.VWFS will shift its focus to consumer leasing, usage-based products, and new mobility solutions, aligning with Volkswagen Group's broader growth strategy in the U.S. market.The transition is part of a "multi-year co-branded agreement" aimed at offering improved retail financial solutions for VW, Audi, and Ducati.VWFS will continue managing current loans on its books after the April transition.Ernst Jan van Eijkelenburg, CEO of VW Credit: “This is a union of great strengths... supporting our brands, dealers, and customers.”A new report from Edmunds highlights the growing disconnect between what car shoppers want to pay and the prices they're encountering in the market today.According to Edmunds, the average trade-in age for new vehicles is six years, meaning many shoppers returning in 2023 last bought in 2018.64% of used car buyers aim to spend under $20,000, and 50% target $15,000 or less, but only 5% of transactions were below $10,000, with the average used car costing $26,936. Similarly, 48% of new car buyers want to spend $35,000 or less, but the average new car price in July was $47,716, with almost no vehicles under $20,000.Over 73% of respondents have delayed buying a vehicle due to high prices, 62% due to high interest rates, and more than half are cutting other expenses or working extra hours to afford one.Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' head of insights: "Consumers are likely being forced into trade-offs, selecting different brands, older vehicles, or even postponing purchases.”A new report from the Financial Times highlights the growing burden of auto loan debt, which now accounts for 9% of household debt, second only to mortgages and surpassing student loans.Auto loan delinquencies are nearing record-high levels set during the 2009 financial crisis, as many struggle to keep up with large payments.Buyers who purchased vehicles during the COVID-19 pandemic at inflated prices now face significant negative equity, owing more than their cars are worth as values decline.While fewer prime borrowers are losing their vehicles compared to 2009, auto debt continues to swell, with total automotive debt reaching $1.6 trillion as of September 2023.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In today's Daily Fix: Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 5 Pro in full: its design, specs, and yes, price.

In this episode I dive into an ordeal every designer deals with at some point in their business - the client pricing pushback!  My short and simple answer is: get ahead of it and communicate everything early and often! Through the episode I share exactly why I believe that early communication about pricing is the key to facing this objection head-on and lessons I've learned the hard way over the years. I dive into specific ways to keep your message clear and upfront, how to showcase your worth using your promotional materials and client facing documents, and of course why charging for your consultation is another way to pre-qualify your clients and set clear expectations about the level of service you're offering. Because the pricing pushback is so common when we're starting a business, I include a few ways of how to handle it; what to say and what not to say so that you can commit to clients to align with your value and understand your worth.   This episode is sponsored by Devix Kitchens & Abacus Furniture.   Download our Free Resources ➡️ Pre-qualify your clients with my Discovery Call Script ➡️ Stay confident from beginning to end with my Consultation Checklist    ➡️ Looking for a quick infusion of cash?

In this episode of Work in Progress, Courtney Brown, VP of strategic impact and planning for Lumina Foundation, and Stephanie Marken, senior partner at Gallup, share details of a new joint study that finds that college affordability is a top concern for Americans, despite seeing a degree as valuable to career success. The Lumina Foundation-Gallup State of Higher Education 2024 shows that cost remains a major barrier for students seeking a postsecondary education, with 38% of students plunging deep into date to pay for their education beyond high school. "We have seen over the last decade enrollments declining in postsecondary education. At the same time, we need more talented people in our country. This is a problem. We see over and over again that cost is a huge barrier," Courtney Brown of Lumina Foundation tells me. Stephanie Marken of Gallup adds, "We very intentionally interviewed people who don't have a degree or credential because we want to understand their attitudes towards and experiences with postsecondary education pathways, whatever that pathway might be. We found that over half of those who we interviewed who were not currently enrolled reported it was a very or somewhat important reason as to why they were not currently enrolled." The researchers also talked to students who are currently enrolled about the high cost of higher education. "About a third of students who we interviewed reported that cost is a major barrier to continuing enrollment. We asked individuals if they considered stepping out in the past six months. We found about a third said that they had struggled to remain enrolled. Cost was the major reason for that," according to Marken The study also finds that 71% of those who borrowed for postsecondary education struggle for years to repay their loans, says Marken, delaying major life decisions "whether that was buying a car, buying a home, having children, returning to postsecondary education for those who had stepped out temporarily. It's really keeping them from achieving important milestones that we would say is a life well-lived." Despite the high cost, says Brown, the survey found that people do value a degree or a credential beyond high school. "We see over and over again that they say having some credential after high school is extremely or very valuable. That includes a certification, a certificate, or a degree. "And 75% of students who were previously enrolled say that it's extremely valuable, so even the people that have not completed (their degree). I think it's really important that we understand that people value it, they just can't access it." Brown also talks about the impact of not being able to afford college. "It's huge. We're seeing more and more schools having to close because the enrollments are declining. So that becomes a problem. That also becomes a problem for the communities those institutions are in because they're probably one of the number one employers in those communities. "So there's this cascading of effect when enrollments start to decline. And most importantly, we're not going to have thriving communities. We're not going to have a nation that can compete economically, socially with others around the globe. Brown and Marken address some of the other fallout from college being out of range financially for students of all ages. You can listen to the podcast here, or find it wherever you get your podcasts.

Be sure to register for my free training on, "The 5-Step Formula to Closing More Deals without the Price Pushback, 'Think-It-Overs' or Ghosting"https://salesinsightslab.com/training/Welcome back to another educational episode of "Data Driven Insights." I'm your host, Marc Wayshak, and today we're joined by the head coach at the Sales Insights Lab, Coach Tiffany Torres. In this episode, Marc and Tiffany discuss the significance and benefits of targeting larger deals in sales, challenging common assumptions, and realigning mindsets toward high-stakes opportunities. Marc Wayshak begins by explaining three ways to increase sales: more prospects, higher closing rates, and bigger deals, emphasizing that the latter is often overlooked despite its potential impact on revenue.Coach Tiffany advises sales professionals to focus on the value of the problems they solve for prospects rather than just the cost of their product or service. By doing so, salespeople can effectively communicate the worth of their offering in relation to the prospect's challenge, creating an opportunity to discuss and justify higher budgets.The conversation shifts to strategies for increasing deal sizes, such as dynamic pricing, offering tiered service packages, and targeting bigger companies with larger budgets. They highlight the importance of understanding the prospect's language and tailoring the value proposition accordingly.Marc and Tiffany advise on pipeline management, emphasizing the need to cultivate multiple large opportunities so any single deal doesn't become disproportionately crucial, a concept likened to balancing on a beam at different heights. With a full pipeline, salespeople can operate from a position of power, less concerned about individual losses and more focused on the many opportunities ahead.Finally, they wrap up with a discussion on adopting a "some will, some won't, so what" attitude, recognizing when to move on from a lost prospect, and how small increases in average sales size can lead to significant overall growth.Listeners are also invited to access a free video training to learn a five-step formula to close more deals, available at closing training.Key Topics:1.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 15th, 2024... why the latest inflation reports could postpone the Fed's rate-cutting plan, how inflation continues to impact construction costs, and why homeowners are getting sticker shock from property tax bills.   We begin with economic news from this past week that was dominated by two of the latest inflation reports. The Consumer Price Index or CPI came out on Wednesday and the Producer Price Index or PPI came out on Thursday.   Unfortunately for everyone wanting a great inflation report, the March CPI was hotter than expected. It rose .4% in March for an annual rate of 3.5%. That's up from 3.2% last month. That is not what the Fed wants to see as it decides to lower the Federal Funds rate...   ...That's it for today.

Consumers are feeling the pinch when it comes to their food budget, Vicky Nguyen is here with everything you need to know. Plus, Emma Heming Willis is calling out, what she says are clickbait headlines about her husband's dementia diagnosis. And, Hoda Kotb talks with living legend Rita Moreno about her new dark comedy “The Prank.”

This week on I Don't Get It, Ashley gives us the behind-the-scenes on her Disney gender reveal. Jared stops by to talk Tesla and present his new idea for a "chill person discount." Naz provides an update on her Invisalign journey, discusses one of her biggest pet peeves, and breaks down why it seems like younger men might have it more together (even if they don't totally understand what women have to go through to keep themselves together, too). Lauren helps us get to the bottom of whether or not there's a difference between "bottled water" and "water bottle," and we spend some quality time with that moment on The Bachelor that has everyone swooning over Joey.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/This episode is sponsored by Better Help.
