Cost Of Living comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The Jonnie Jensen Show, from February 2021 to July 2023.
The discussion shifts to the inevitability of economic cycles, comparing the current cost of living crisis to the credit crunch of a decade ago. Jensen shares a famous monologue from the movie Rocky Balboa to illustrate that success is defined by how many hits a person can take while moving forward. He emphasizes that blaming politicians or external circumstances is a "cowardly" alternative to taking personal responsibility.

They list hidden costs like new clothing and "body grooming" that contribute to the total.
