I thought it would be good to calculate our personal inflation rate as Retirees. We have been retired 12 years. I always believed that one's personal inflation rate does not always jive with the national rates.
I did the calculation on the last 4 months of 2021 and the first 4 of 2022, they are actual for our household.
Given we do not use much Petrol and do not buy a lot of clothes or go to work every day, we do buy staples and general living consumables.
Ours worked out to be a +3% difference so far. We have Stable Taxes and our Utilities have not changed at all. We really do not do much different. We still Blow the dough on occasions. The numbers do not include travel, but we have not done much that it makes a difference.
I will continue to do the sums for the rest of the year and see how it goes.
We live in N.E. Fla.
