Yeah. Most people should build their own inflation index. It's not hard whence you realize the biggest expenditures are usually 1) mortgage/rent, and 2) food. I wouldn't be surprised that given the rate hiking in recent years going along with higher food price, some people see dramatic "inflation". Ofc one can always say that No this is not the academic way to define inflation, but who cares? | |||||||||||||||||

In 2022 I scraped the current prices for things I bought on amazon the year before, and got a 7% increase. Unfortunately amazon stopped providing order reports recently... ``` $ inflation -y 2021 -f items.csv 86 successful items, 30 failed items 2256.76 total 2021 2427.62 total now +170.86 (+7%) difference ``` | |||||||||||||||||
