CPI-E and retirement inflation


"From 1982 through December 2012, for example, CPI-E [an experimental Consumer Price Index that captures the spending of adults who are age 62 and above] was 3.07% versus 2.92% for CPI-U. That underscores that retirees ought to remain watchful for signs of inflation and work to preserve their purchasing power from their portfolio withdrawals by embedding inflation hedges into their portfolio holdings."
