How you feel is also very geographically dependent, and quality of life dependent.
The government published nationwide inflation measures are completely irrelevant to anyone who had a goal of buying land in a tier 1 metro, or in the higher end suburbs of tier 2 metros. And you will feel very different based on if you have kids or not.
Land, healthcare, and education pretty much eclipse everything else.
Said another way, I think making 100k in 1995 would make one feel way, way richer than making 200k today.
