<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4668216, member: 19165&quot;]Excellent analysis. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the idea of the CPI is that is averages the entire national index, although we all recognized that certain areas have vastly different costs of living. I think, on average, the increase per year is roughly equal across the country, even if one region costs more than another. For example, San Francisco has a much higher cost basis than Charleston, but the percentage increase per year (due to inflation) is going to be the same nationwide because the Federal Reserve and currency policy is a nationwide policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
