RE: Inflation at 4
Half your Purchasing Power
Gone in 18 years

Compound inflation 2006-2024 = 53.0%

Another more sobering example:
In 1976 I purchased my first new car; Chrysler Cordoba for $5,400
Cumulative rate of inflation since then: 442.0%
That same car today should cost: $29,269.80
Maybe I got a deal! 😉
