This is my experience and that of everyone I talk to in my daily life. It's like a very weird bubble on HN and in the media, where people are ignoring things like "my tracked expenses for groceries are 60% higher than they were in 2019, and my restaurant budget has grown though I go out to eat 1/3 as much" I don't have to guess about these things, I have receipts. Still, everyone here and on the news tells me things are great!
