Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Been to Ikea yesterday. Our desired front cost €799 in the reference price in December, yesterday it was already €949.

Where are you searching? I find it hard to imagine that simple gravel 2/5 at the gravel plant should cost 100€ now. I paid much less in September anyway, there were 2 trailers of concrete gravel, 1 trailer of gravel 2/5 and one trailer of gravel 1/3 for 80€. Total amount approx. 4.5 tons.

So far only internet. I have now also found one for 68 EUR - at least. It's just not clear yet what the delivery will cost... 80 EUR for everything or /ton? What kind of trailers and towing vehicle do you have? 1.5t payload possible? If I borrowed a suitable braked trailer, I’m only allowed 1.2t total (trailer + payload). Unfortunately, I got my driver's license exactly 4 months too late due to lack of money back then, otherwise I would still have a pink slip and be allowed 7.5t (total). :(

theoretically richer or poorer :oops: , and therefore practically jumping off the high-rise :confused:, then it was not play money but retirement provision :eek:

These are two different statements. 1. Theoretically, everyone becomes richer because stock prices rise. But if everyone tries to cash in their stocks, the brokers on Wall Street will fall off the roofs.

Unfortunately, I got my driver's license exactly 4 months too late back then due to lack of money, otherwise I would still have a pink card and would be allowed 7.5t (total). :(

A friend with the necessary license will surely be found to drive the load for you.

Well, with rent and still being able to drive twice, I can also pay 90 EUR for the delivery and get everything in one go.

Yesterday at Ikea. Our desired front cost €799 in December as a reference price, yesterday it was already €949.

Yes, Ikea has raised prices quite broadly at the turn of the year. Our (changing) dresser still cost €199 last year, at the beginning of the week we had to realize that it now costs €250 :(
