 Well, stopped in at my local Trader Joe's today and got hit with some culture shock.

We can no longer refer to our libation as Two Buck Chuck !
 Henceforth it will have to be known as 2½ Buck Chuck. Yup, price now $2.49. When will this inflation cease? Oh yeah, maybe 2016! ;>)

Not sure what 2016, might have to do with inflation. I am pretty invested in the stock market, and am pretty happy with what has been happening the last few years.  I don't see many of my everyday costs going up. But my investments are doing well. All in all things are much better for me, than than they were, 5 years ago.
