'I live in a rich part of Europe, and I don't see much inflation. Gasoline prices are lower than 1 or 2 years ago, food prices are a small part of the budget'

When you are well off gasoline or food is minor. Still I have a hard time believing gas prices are lower than a year or two anywhere.. Or that working class folks in Zurich or London or Vancouver are not getting squeezed on all sides as much or more than in the USA.
