Although our debt is high some of us have not adjusted our spending habits so that we can address the debt that we owe.

One of the most important reports that come out each month is the Consumer Price Index. The consumer price index is a measure of inflation. Inflation is the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services. It is measured as the percentage change in the consumer price index over time. Central banks and governments use the CPI to monitor inflation and to set monetary and fiscal policies.
