I saw one article that said if you exclude food and gas, inflation was "only" 6.3%. However, I don't know why you would exclude two items that are necessary to survive. Maybe you could exclude entertainment or travel - which are more discretionary spending than food and gas.

Without wishing to make matters seem worse, you could think of an 8.3% level of inflation as the need to work one month out of the year for no income. Kinda puts things into perspective.
