To kick inflation though, it'd need to be more than 5%. In this year, we're probably looking at 8-10% to keep up with inflation.

1. Inflation numbers are hyper local to both individuals and region.

2. If we wanted to use a number with authority we would probably use 6.5%, which is the US Buerau of Labor Static's number for 2022 CPI.

3. My level of precision (one digit) should have been an informal indicator that I was using a rough estimate.
