Tell that to  people living on fixed  incomes who are no  longer able to
make do with what they have. Contrast that with before, when the general
trend  was for  those  on  fixed incomes  to  gain  in purchasing  power
over time  (due to  innovations, technological advancements  and general
improvements in efficiency, productivity, etc...).
