Perhaps I'll add a 2% or 3% inflation rate into my plan and re-figure the numbers. I hadn't really considered that inflation is hitting the essentials hard, while the luxury prices are dropping.

Any YMOYL readers here? The authors of that book are nonchalant about inflation for the most part.
Which YMOYL did you read? The updated version is less nonchalant about inflation than the original.
