How bank CDs, alternative investments and a frugal mindset deal with inflation

<p>It's the third day of interviews taped at FinCon in New Orleans -- an annual gathering of financial content creators -- and one big focus of the conversations is inflation. That will be a big part of conversations today, when the interviews start with Jen Smith of the <a href="https://frugalfriendspodcast.com">Frugal Friends</a> podcast, moving into a chat with Scott Carson from <a href="https://weclosenotes.com">The Note Closers Show</a> and -- after a break to talk personal finance with David Zaegel from the <a href="https://CWOsforhire.com">Retire With Confidence podcast</a> --  inflation is a big part of the talk with John Blizzard, head of <a href= "https://cdvalet.com">CDValet.com</a>, a site that helps consumers with certificates of deposit. The show concludes with conversations with <a href="https://CliftonCorbin.Com">Clifton Corbin</a>, a financial educator and author of "Your Kids, Their Money," and Paula Pant of the <a href="https://affordanything.com">Afford Anything</a> podcast, who discusses why so many Americans are upset over inflation and financial conditions at a time when they actually have it pretty good.</p>
