You Come to the US to Make It, Don’t Jeopardize That By Making Mistakes | From The Trenches with James Boyle

We're The Brits In America

CPI increased by 0.2% in August, putting the year-over-year rate at 2.5%. So, inflation is stabilising and we can all celebrate? Possibly. The U.S. added 142,000 jobs last month too, leading to a slight decline in the unemployment rate. What does this mean for markets?

Richard and James are back in the trenches, to bring you the latest cross-border financial advice. What does the CPI data tell us? What’s the rest of the year got in store?

Rich was recently a victim of attempted identity theft, and he shares the steps he’s now taken to protect himself. There’s plenty of advice to stop it happening to you in this episode. Stay vigilant and listen closely.

Finally, remember the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme? What lessons are there to learn from that one?

This week’s From The Trenches is a mix of practical advice, personal stories and life lessons.
