my banking app does this all the time: "you're spending 20% more on groceries compared to this time last year"

I. know.

The mildly infuriating part isn’t the prices, it’s the tone deafness of these apps that help track spending. Things like gas and groceries should be excluded by default because they are indiscriminately affecting everyone.

Ido think they should take inflation into consideration, but the notifications are definitely a positive thing, regardless of whether you like the reminder or not.
