act as the fed tries to avoid stoking a recession. this morning cost of borrowing money is set to rise as the federal reserve is expected to hike interest rates once again this time by up to half a percentage point, the largest increase in more than two decades. the move as the fed attempts to rein in soaring inflation which is weighing heavily on budgets everywhere, from the pump to the grocery store. >> my grocery bills are getting larger and larger. not only because i have a pre teen but because the prices are going up. >> reporter: the goal is if borrowing money becomes more expensive, demand will drop and price wills go back down but economist wills split on whether or not the move will ultimately bring relief to the cost of living some fearing raising rates too quick could trigger a recession. in the meantime the price of mortgage will immediately jump raising home prices dramatically for some. >> the rates are going up. and the type of houses we're looking at the prices aren't really going to go down. >> reporter: he's worried about

paying even more for his dream home in nashville. how far did you have to stretch to make this new house happen? >> we had to put about 8% over asking price on an already very expensive house. >> reporter: another rate hike would also bump up the price of car and adjustable rate loans again and make paying off credit card debt even costlier. with a half point increase, a $5,000 balance would care an additional $193 in total interest and the rate hikes are expected to continue through the rest of the year as the fed tries to strike a delicate balance to get inflation under control. and for the savers out there today's expected hike could be good news if you have a high yield savings account. and this comes as so many americans are changing spending habits just to manage tight budgets with inflation our new nbc news morning consult online pole found six in ten shoppers say they have decided not to purchase an item becauses

available online test for the sats so i'm not going to sit back and like oh that was easy east side. but yeah it was just standardized tests and you can study for them. >> hard work seems to be your theme. when you got the medals in beijing, was it a pinch me moment or was it like lots and lots of practice that happened to work out perfectly an that day. >> i think it was both the standout moment for me was enwhen i landed that 1620 in wig air which was any first event. and i've always said my message is about inspiring young girls and inspiring more people to hear about the sport and to use it a as force to create interconnection and cross-cultural communication and i knew that it was such a big moment and there were so many people watching and it was my time to live up to that standard that i've set. and so in that sense i was like no matter what, there is no failure because if i don't land the worst failure is to not try so i just wanted to try it and i'd never done it before i'd never even tried it on air bag or anything. landed it and got that gold medal and i was on top of the world. >> your mom taught you well. you can tell she's always supporting you she's actually here in studio.s.

and you did make a decision to compete for china. and i was just wondering the thought process. i know that wasn't an easy decision i know it came with backlash so tell me about that piece. >> for me its always been about using force -- using sport as a force of communication and especially in free skiing, it is so personal. and creative and there is style. and lot of people in china had never even haertd of it so introducing that sport culture to younger girls especially, it changed my life. and so to be able to have that kind of contact with the sport now there are 300 mel million people in china who have gone on snow after the winter olympics and that impact is absolutely insane. >> do you feel you needed to have a thick skin for what came at you after that. >> absolutely. people try to have their own opinions but i know there is no wrong or wright there is only intention and i'm trying to make the world a better place in my own way and if people disagree with that that's okay.

and i just encourage them to make the world better in their way. we can approach this from different standpoint is yeah. to each their own. >> going to stanford. >> i'm going go college in the fall yes. >> you are going to college in the fall you are a model. you do all that stuff. are we going to see you at the olympics again >> who knows honestly i really love skiing still. the as very personal and expressive part of me and i think it makes me who i am it's taught me resilience and cross-cultural communication so in that sense, yeah. i think why not. but yeah let's see how school goes first. >> you are a lovely and delightful person. and your mom is here cheering you on no one is beaming bigger than she is we did get a shot of her too i know she zpt doesn't like to be on camera eileen thank you so much congrats on all of your success. up next, the broadway cast of
