What do we think inflation is actually at?

The topic speaks for itself.
We hear talk of 2% targets and whatnot but I personally think we’ve blown way past that in several asset classes and will likely (if we haven’t already) see inflation in their associated products.
What do y’all think?

Funny you should say that because "assets" are not included in most of the inflation metrics that the central bank looks at and says, "whelp no inflation, so keep printing!"
So as long as you aren't worried about gaining assets, you can go on believing there's no inflation.

The second chart makes it look like we’ve been at 9% for the last ten years...?

Saylor made a great point. Inflation depends who you are what you want to be.
If you want to be upper middle class or elite inflation is 20+% — look at the prices of stocks and desirable real estate / home building.
If you are poor to lower middle class then inflation is near zero as the Fed tells us it is. The price of Little Caesar’s, your cell phone plan, and Netflix aren’t changing much.
K shape in recovery and inflation

This. I make around $80K at 24, and I feel stress that I should be buying a house now because the prices rise over a percent every month it seems.
I should feel financially secure but don't because of rising asset prices.
