While inflation can change consumption patterns, its not the only factor. For example, how do you compare your current spending on a mobile data plan or video streaming service compared to how consumers spent their money in the 1970s?

My book budget has been subsumed by my ISP budget and they both effectively accomplish the same thing (reading material). I know that this specific example wasn't crucial to your overall point, but I thought it was an interesting tangent to take literally.
