Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Remember, 1 kg of coffee consumes about 20,000 liters of water.

That was cocoa with the 20,000 liters/kg. But also our beloved cotton (jeans) fabric, 1 kg about 20,000 liters. A cup of coffee is 130 liters.

A coffee cup is 130 liters

wonderful, measuring cocoa in kg, coffee in cups. PS if the cup of cocoa is very very small, it might only be 10 liters

If I get 154 cups of coffee from the KG, then that is mathematically the same (20,000 / 130)...

The internet says you should calculate with 6 - 8 grams per cup, which would put us at 125 - 167 cups / KG, so with the 154 cups we are within the expected range.

So, Telekolleg on Sunday morning finished, let's talk about prices again.

As clichéd as it sounds, many small actions by many people do add up to a big effect.

I agree with you and believe that anyone who wants to can internally decide, for example, to change three things that come easy to them, two things that are a bit uncomfortable, and one thing that is, subjectively speaking, maybe somewhat unpleasant. That is already, in my example, a total of five points, which I find quite a lot and that might actually make a difference. The next generation might be ready to achieve perhaps 4-3-2 instead of 3-2-1. The many vegans and vegetarians in the younger generation already make a difference. Due to lack of knowledge, the majority of the population started too late, but fundamental developments and realignments basically require a bit more time, and in that regard, I do not want to reproach anyone.
And the construction of single-family homes will be stopped as soon as no new building plots for single-family homes are designated. Surely, people can get used to that, and not everyone will miss it. The desire for a single-family home is not inherent in everyone; often wishes are "simply" created by marketing experts. Still, I am glad to be able to build for now. However, I do not know whether we will still be allowed to operate the well that we will have dug at a relatively high cost for (long).

The tiles for our house were supposed to be picked up yesterday, but they are not available in the desired quantity. We were woken up by this information yesterday (Saturday morning) and then had to quickly drive to the tile center and find an alternative among the available tiles by 12:00. The costs remain the same, but these are not the tiles we wanted. Fortunately, I have long practiced the Pareto principle. :-)

It's still a bit bitter, though, to spend so much money on a house and yet have to make compromises. Often, "a lot of money" protects one from having to accept compromises, but currently, it is different.

Pareto leads to significantly more satisfaction in the long run than perfection. Therefore: Have fun with the second best tiles in the world
