If anyone's curious:

$60/$49 = ~1.22, or ~22% more from 2021 to 2026 (~4.5%/yr) $49/$32 = ~1.53, or ~53% more from 2001 to 2021 (~2.7%/yr)

Time periods are vastly different of course (5y vs 20y) but inflation has accelerated drastically since the pandemic (specifically 2021).

None of this is representative of spending power, of course.
