I think the most recent experience on inflation is very clear on this. The government reported number is 6%. But for people who spend most of their money on daily items, like rent and grocery, 6% is like lying to my face telling me red is blue.

The number is way low. Housing/rental costs are the largest expense and that's up 20% in many places. Used cars are up 40%.

Many food items like milk, eggs, meat are almost 50%~100% more expensive.
