Financial Juggernut Insight
Tariffs aren’t just trade policy they’re
inflation in disguise.
This round of tariffs acts like a silent tax on
consumers. You won’t see it itemized at checkout, but your total price will
swell, slowly and steadily.
The smart move?
Shop essentials now
Avoid long-term financing on items likely to rise
Consider alternative brands made in non-tariff countries
