A 6000 Litre water tanker used to cost 500 in cities like Bengaluru. Now, it costs around 800. That's 60% inflation in 1 year. You feel poor because the cost of essential items have gone up like crazy. - Medical inflation = 14% - Kid's education easily 15-20% - Even your mobile bill is likely to go up 20% this year. And, the primary reason is corruption. If you step back and think: you should not even be paying for a water tanker to begin with. Water seems like a basic right when people are paying massive taxes. Similarly, if you have been paying direct taxes for years: you should expect free (or subsidized) quality education for your kids. But, all this money goes to political corruption. You can swing around any number: that we will become 10Tr$ economy or whatever. Fact is: it does not matter. What matters is: the access to necessary services at an affordable price. Your salary will continue to grow slower than growth rate of necessary services. And, this makes people poorer.
