As far as I'm concerned they've been lying about the inflation figures all along. Prices have skyrocketed where I live the past year.

Yeah, lets talk about inflation. Last year my gas bill grew 25%, this year 13%, my grad school tuition grew 90% this year and is scheduled for another 70% (that's off the new tuition's price) growth for next year. Electric went up about 10%, cable another 10%, insurance is a yearly 10-15% hike, even the phone bill went up 10% on survices (and I've got just the basics, just to cover the security system that went up 7%). Yeah, oh yeah, that 1% inflation is sure kicking me down.

Didn't help that I spent half the year unemployed. God, why did I ever go into tech in the first place. I should have gone with insurance sales after the Army (well my first stint on active duty) when I had the chance.
