In 2003, 10 years ago, I paid 35 cents to take the bus. The cost is now $2.00.
The government issues the CPI which claims that inflation is less than 2% every year. Does CPI really tell the story of real life inflation?
Intuit collected data from mint.com which has spending data from millions of normal people. This is what they found from 2011 to 2013, a span of only 2 years.
I realize that each element in the graph is unique which is why I'm also asking you to post some examples of inflation in your own lives.
