Asjusted to inflation, 100k today are worth about as much as 60k two years ago.

Assuming Wolfram Alpha's CPI data is correct, I think you'd have to go back to 2002 for $100k now to be worth $60k then: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%2460%2C000+from+2002

I prefer the Coffee Purchasing Index, Costco Purchasing Index and Car Purchasing Index instead. Those don't lie.
