What if you're poor and have kids. Milk is four bucks a gal. You 've got a shitty car and it needs repair. you've got bald tires, need a tune up, get 12 miles a gal. and gas is three bucks.?
Yes, if you're a thinker you can get around everything but health care. But guess what. The economy is a high wire act balanced on people making 20 k, spending 40, until they go broke, wipe the slate clean and start over again.
Here, in Florida, property taxes went nuts with insurance. I understand people in retirement communities have their bags packed to get out of here, but can't sell. Some people actually can't afford taxes and insurance. The mortgage is a throw in. Twenty years ago, when I came here, I couldn't believe how cheap it was. Now, it's prohibitively expensive. In Palm Beach Cty, I costs some 2200 a year to insure two shitty cars I don't even drive. Geico? They want nothing to do w/us. I'll bet inflation here is about 10% plus. Much of it is local, but how about food? Good investment ideas are Big Lots, FDO, DLTR.....these places are packed, absolutely packed, as even better off folks like paying a dollar or two for what costs four in a drug store.
Inflation lives for the general population.
