You mean the new free smart money email newsletter?

Yes.

And I have to say it is so good.

And listeners, for the record, you actually are part of the show.

I'm going to be sharing personal stuff.

You know, I love sharing my business.

And I'm going to be sharing parenting tips from an eight-year-old and a single mom perspective.

For the record, that's nerdwallet.com slash podcast.

Come hang out with us.

And I'm Elizabeth Aiola.

Later this episode, we'll be looking at the risks and the benefits of owning investment properties.

But first, we must have our weekly money news roundup, where we break down the latest in the world of finance to help you be smarter with your money.

Our news colleague, Anahil Hoski, is here to talk about rising prices and how the Iran war could make them jump even higher.

I personally have been feeling very anxious and heavy with all of the war talk.

It's terrible to see people potentially losing their lives and just how unsettling the whole situation is.

43% is an incredibly high jump, I just have to point out.

Yeah.

We saw tensions rise earlier this week, but it resulted in a ceasefire.

Can you walk us through that, Anna?

Well, let's talk about what people really want to know, Ana.
