The majority of price rises are due to DEMAND. Too many chasing a lessor supply, causing the prises to get bid higher. Wages are up due demand, too many employers chasing a limited number of emplyees. Energy is up due to less supply. Freight costs are up due to less supply.

If it wasn't a monetary issue, other prices would be falling to offset the increases you listed.

In oil country it did not hold prices down much.

A studio apartment in Andrews, Texas was like $375 a month IF you could get one and would be glad if you could.

Id have to dig to recall what we paid for our 900 sf 3 br first house with 1 car garage and central swamp cooler.

My wood shop now is bigger and has AC.
