Glad we have a reasonable person here.

Ive done the math for Food as well, the prices arent 'going up' like people claim.

The only thing that has went up, is inflation.

??? Food is not an appreciating asset. An increase in food prices, as part of the CPI, is by definition, inflation. Home prices, in contrast, have for a long time risen much faster than inflation, at least in many areas.

Housing costs are included in the CPI, as well. In fact, they are about 40% of the total CPI weighting.
