Ah, so the Fed does not measure house price rises, mortgage payment increases as inflation. if a person becomes homeless as they can't afford shelter there is still no inflation as per CPI.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoOwners equivalent rent is included in CPI: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/ https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/ I can’t speak as to how accurate it is compared to real life. What I know is CPI figures don’t and can’t incorporate volatility. For example, I assume healthcare expenses will skyrocket, and government assistance such as Social Security will be reduced. Therefore, I act as if life will be more and more expensive.
