Individuals should use the calculator which determines their own personal inflation rate. Mine has been hovering around the 10% rate for years.

        Are you saying computer games are not essential?

        Does not the old testament say though shall play Super Mario every day. Or something....

          There is much in the Old Testament teachings which modern people ignore.

                  you've just picked that number out of thin air.
                  I bet you can't name three things with an inflation rate of 10%. I'd be surprised if you can name one.

                  HINT: Cigarettes are about the closest and that peaks around 9% inflation in 2011-12.

                    Never that far off the next Steam sale.

                    Just in time for Halloween, or that other day that is scaring the tulip out of some, whichever comes first.

                    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
