Yes, but that's still a few weeks away, and there's some big news happening right now that we wanted to hop into your feed and talk to you about.

So you may have noticed gas prices have gone up all of a sudden.

That's after the United States started a war with Iran, a country located in the Middle East where a lot of the oil we use to make gasoline is drilled.

That's right.

And a lot has changed since then.

Inflation did eventually get under control for the most part.

We'll see if that remains true moving forward.

In the meantime, though, listen to this episode and maybe it'll make whatever happens next make a little more sense.

Hey, Ryan, what you watching?

So what is this movie about?

Wow, things used to be cheap back then, eh?

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet ending.

Welcome back to Million Bazillion.

I'm Bridget.

We're here to answer the questions you have about money.

And here's a good one that just came in.

I don't think so.

I think Alder must have figured out that you used to be able to buy more stuff with a single dollar because stuff was cheaper.

Like you could buy a hula hoop in the 1950s for like $1.99.

But now a hula hoop costs $12.
