If you think that inflation is "only" 6ish%, maybe have a rethink at what your
personal inflation is tracking at for the year.
News.com.au have a calculator that lets you plug in a few variables to see what real inflation rate you're personally looking at - as a fairly modest, healthy-ish living person, I'm looking at 11%. Throw in a few additional things like child care and smoking or going out often and this sky rockets.
