Inflation is a tricky topic because it all depends on what you measure. Multiple government measures of inflation are almost disingenuous because they don't measure some key items. Inflation is fairly low when it comes to sustenance foods, cars, telecom, and technology -- however, that is not the story for things like: fish, fresh produce, textbooks, healthcare, rent, home prices, executive MBAs, some imported goods. It gets even more complicated. Some things cost one for some people and another for others -- e.g., college tuition has skyrocketed if you don't get a scholarship/aid but is flat or down if you do get scholarship/aid
