It's easy to talk about inflation without factoring in cost of living and how average salaries have not risen in line with increased cost of living. My dad supported a wife and four children on a single income while I was growing up. Today, my wife and a I combined have 2 full time jobs and 1 part-time job just to get by, and with no children. You might want to think about the average person's circumstances before declaring they have a "sense of entitlement" because they don't want to pay $80 each on a video game.
