Buying a Utah home can help you with inflation

We have all heard the stories from our parents or grandparents about the 5 cent hamburgers they could to buy back in the day. Now a $.99 hamburger is about as cheap as you can get and all you get is a bun, hamburger patty, ketchup, mustard and maybe a pickle. Inflation is a necessary part for our economy.
