Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

2021 already... Wanted an armchair that once cost 199 but was never available... Then it suddenly cost 269 :(

Despite a user's fact-check, it remains the same.

The postman earned only 6 percent more in 2021 than in 2011. I did not get this information from Telegram or Mr. Reitschuster, but from the economic talk on DLF this morning. Anyone can listen to it again in the media library.

And DLF got it from a study by the Federal Statistical Office on the wage development of postal employees.

And what use is an official inflation of 10 percent if I still have to pay 100 percent more for many things I personally need. Nothing at all. My electricity price alone has increased by 70 percent. From 12/31/2022 to 01/01/2023, overnight.
Producer prices have fallen! What good does that do me? I bought my flour 7 months ago for 0.45 cents. Today 0.89.

The bread at the bakery yesterday cost 6 euros.

And it is the essential things I need to survive. A Playstation that is 20 euros cheaper, nobody needs that.
If it continues like this, then with a 5000 euro monthly income you are a very poor bastard.

So far only internet. I have now also found one for 68 EUR - at least. It is 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 may only have 1.2t total (trailer + payload).
Unfortunately, I got my driving license exactly 4 months too late due to lack of money, otherwise I would still have a pink license and be allowed 7.5t (total). :(

80€ was total.
Internet is quite expensive, going directly to the gravel plant is better. If you can fill at least a three-axle truck, the delivery is not expensive either.

I also only have the toy driving license, but conveniently my Octavia weighs about 1.9t maximum and stays under 3.5t with my 1.5t tipper (good ton payload). The guy from the gravel plant meant well at the beginning and loaded the first trailer with 1.6t. That worked too, but it doesn't have to be repeated so extremely ;)
I mainly got the trailer for small quantities and, of course, the various trips to the hardware store. When I'm done, it will be sold again.

Producer prices have fallen! What good is that to me? I bought my flour 7 months ago for 0.45 cents. Today 0.89.

That means we will see a flattening of inflation if producer prices continue to fall. With a time delay, of course.

Additionally, you can see at the Federal Statistical Office that industrial orders in Germany have dropped by 10% (Nov21/Nov22). It won’t get better in the following months; I am waiting for the numbers.

All of this will work its way through and lead to decreasing inflation.

Whether there will ever be a year with resets of the price level, I doubt, but I cannot rule it out.

The bread at the bakery yesterday cost 6 euros.

That we nowadays, and especially in Germany, spend a ridiculous percentage of our income on FOOD, unfortunately probably leads to such disregard. How many quintals of bread do you need per month?

The fact that nowadays, and especially in Germany, we spend a ridiculous percentage of our income on FOOD probably unfortunately leads to such disdain....

THAT is indeed the case, and I will never understand why people stuff themselves with fully industrialized junk for just a few cents a day (you are what you eat) (By the way, I can't understand it even though I also did it for a long time and still do so in exceptional cases :rolleyes:)
