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.
- hsitz 8y ago??? 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.
- cheald 8y agoHousing costs are included in the CPI, as well. In fact, they are about 40% of the total CPI weighting.
