You want Table 1 in the linked doc. The summary is the things getting more expensive fastest are also things that have lower weighting. In household budget terms, our biggest expenses by far are:
- housing
- health insurance
- childcare
Those have not gotten much more expensive (our health insurance got cheaper this year, housing is flat, childcare had a modest increase). Meanwhile gas for the vehicles costs much more, but comparatively fuel is a minor expense. When we weigh everything for our household, 7.5% seems high.
