Found an old price list from my dad's shop in '92
I was cleaning out a storage unit and found a binder with his shop's rates, and a basic quarter panel repair was listed at $275. I looked up what that same job would cost now, and it's over four times that. Where do you think the biggest cost jump came from, materials or labor?

My own car repair bills could explain the jump.

Actually, I think you might have that backwards. Inflation numbers are based on a big basket of goods for the whole country, not one person's spending. Your bills went up because of inflation, not the other way around.

Wait, so you think your one bill changed the whole country's inflation rate?
