No, about 5.5 percent. Gold hasn't been at $20/oz since the mid 1930's.

I didn't say per year.

No, you didn't say 'per' anything. The word 'Inflation,' without any
qualifiers, implies 'per year.' Per your lifetime is an ambiguous
reference and more so since apparently you're not dead yet.

So, someone missed the implied meaning?

How about, "Accumulated inflation over the intervening years?"
