> So what is the government reporting?

They report things that make them look better. Generally that makes inflation look lower than it is.

For what it's worth, I'm fairly young but I have similar issues to yours. If you mostly buy essentials, the costs have been rising very fast, much faster than salaries do for the same functions.
