i track my finances very closely, our annual household spend was ~80-85k in 2019 and for 2024 we're on a run rate of close to ~100-110k. so about a 25% increase. a lot of this was lifestyle inflation, we had two children in that span who are in daycare now. travel spend took a dive during covid/new baby but we haven't cut back in other areas and are back to traveling about as much as we did pre-covid.

for comparison, household income is up about 60% over that span (job changes and lucky timing with stock compensation) so we're well ahead of where we were 5 years ago.
