For December 2022 RRI YOY rose 6.83%

“Inflation for seniors declined in December to 6.83%. This is a drop from last month's 7.01% which is welcome news for seniors. Food and housing remain stubbornly high which is being offset in this report by a drop in gasoline prices. Medical costs also dropped to a year-over-year increase of 3.68%. Health care costs are expected to rise 7-8% for 2023 however. Those collecting Social Security saw their benefits rise 5.9% for 2022 which was good news but inflation ran at a 7% rate in 2021 so the 5.9% COLA adjustment failed to meet seniors rising expense demand. The 2023 increase of 8.7% will help offset these rising costs. And is now at a run rate above the current 6.83%. The differential is expected to widen and that is indeed welcome news for seniors who have been pinching pennies to get by.”
The Rappaport Retirement Index chooses not to break out food and energy to provide a core rate. The purpose of the RRI is to provide planning and inflation and inflation data for the real world and last I checked, senior eat and drive around so although the core rate may be good for planning as it relates to the Federal Reserve and interest rates, it does little to help financial planner help their clients plan for this extended phase of their client's financial life. “said H Craig Rappaport, creator of the Rappaport Retirement index.
