[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1107196, member: 43436"] I did not suggest that "prices haven't raised," nor am I cherry-picking. I am attempting to illustrate the difficulty in measuring personal inflation. The average American worker earns [U]less [/U]in total compensation today than they did ten years ago, but the average UPS driver earns at least $20,000 more annually. Please don't confuse things like business class internet, NFL Sunday ticket, large data packages on smart phones & tablets, etc. as inflationary expenses, when they're really increases in discretionary spending yielded from steep wage increases well beyond personal inflation rates.
