Three steaks where I live are now 60$ from a supermarket, I think many people underestimate the general inflation of goods prices as well. When youre measuring things in dollars its going to be a bad experience, if you measure in gold or some other commodity its actually getting cheaper.
Unfortunately I don't get paid in gold.
No, but through a lens of your salary being debased it could be far cheaper than we perceive. If you were retired and live off an equity portfolio it would be far cheaper for you.
How good for that small percentage of people in an already small percentage of people who can afford to retire. A lot of retirees are on a fixed income, making it even worse.
