i disagree completely, i think inflation is what got us into this mess in the first place.
the price of a housing has put many western economies into hyperinflation. you cant ignore the cost of a roof over your head. Fear of housing inflation forced many to act before they wanted too. Its no different to hoarding non perishable food in a place such as Zimbawe, buying food as soon as you get paid.
i could be wrong but i believe housing costs were taken out of the inflation calculations recently (20 years ago) so inflation numbers and the setting of interest rates are effectively a lie and a theft of your savings
