2016: I code in Notepad, host on a small Adelaide ISP's free web space, and duct-tape together esoteric (to me) mathematical concepts into code.

Let's plot pension replacement rates , a measure of pension generosity, against 2023 inflation for the G20, the world's largest economies. In short, countries' circumstances and systems are too diverse for a strong relationship between pension generosity and inflation, but let's break it down further.
