The cost of things has not changed vastly. I grant you power and heating costs have increased a good bit.

Plus those, but as long as your wage has increased in line with that then its not a great problem.

In a few years time wages will have changed and so will costs, but it is still wise to get an idea now.

The price of things we WANT has not changed vastly in the past couple of years but for the things we NEED it has changed a great deal. (ie the roof over our heads and everything else it takes to run and maintain it)

That is where you are wrong because I have been looking into rents and how much they are. Asking others is the only sort of way I am going to find out the costs of power and water and so.
