I like the analogy. Recent inflation hasn't hit my household as hard while its crippling for others. We work from home and rarely drive far when we do leave the house. We eat frugally and cook almost all our own meals. Finally we own our home and are locked in at our mortgage rate. Inflation has been hammering energy, food and housing costs. We've felt some of the food increases but the rest, not really.
Meanwhile imagine a family that rents their home, commutes long distances to work and has growing kids. They are probably drowning. Comparing these cases feels a lot like averaging together the temperatures of Seattle and Houston.
