For me it's the opposite. I am a bit surprised that inflation halved buying power since 2000.
In my mind those level of interest usually come from the stock market or house appreciation, but I guess those are much faster (I seem to recall doubling every 8 years in the stock market and housing being a bit slower).
It would be useful if you explain how you calculate it. I mean, if you just apply a decaying exponential function, anyone can do that on their calculator.
I think the more interesting thing to chew on is how this will look over the next 25 years. The numbers will be... huge. 75k salary in 2000 is similar to 150k salary in 2026, project that out to 2050...
Something feels like it'll give out, but I've felt that way for 8 years at this point and I haven't been correct.
SimCity, Starcraft, etc. taught me the value of saving up. But after some decades in the real world, I think computer games should simulate inflation so youth can get some practice at this!
