Request For Input…
Hi folks, starting in the new year I am going to be launching a new website called HappyAsAHippo.com. On this new website I am going to do a couple of things:
- Calculate the HHCPI (Happy Hippo CPI). We all hear about inflation, and how low it is, but yet we feel wrong. What I am going to do is use online resources to calculate a price index each and every day. The price index will measure two things; what people are actually spending, and what inflation there is. That value will be compared to the actual inflation data and you can get a picture of what is going on.
- Calculate the buying tendencies of the major indices. This will be a measure of whether or not you should be buying into the major indices.
I am asking for input because I would like some beta testers who could provide some feedback on what looks good and what does not look good. I am thinking of launching the beta in January or so. Send an email to christianhgross at gmail.com.

Well, I’m not from U.S. I’m from Europe. And I speak English as second language…
and here is what I think about this calculator.
You can make this calculator, but what you’re missing is one important thing. You see, the inflation… probably will not be stable… and inflation will not even determine the actual price we are paying for all the costs.
What will determine the actual cost is this.
(for example)
1st year. the cost of living multiply with 14.5% price growth
2nd year. the cost of living multiply with 17.5% + the 99 other gadgets or stuff we bought EXTRA for this year.
Not only we will buy more and pay more for the things we bought. But every year prices will increase more % than they increased last year. And we also buy more stuff…
