No worries, inflation is going down. Let’s look at a simplified example of how we are being manipulated into believing that.
Last year something that cost $5 dollars went up to $6, or it went up a dollar. That’s a 20% increase (1/5).
This year it went up another dollar, to $7. But wait, that’s only a 16.67% increase (1/6).
So both of the last two years the item went up a dollar each year, but the great news is that inflation is down 3.33% (20-16.67).
