> I’m just afraid that prices of $everything will go up soon and will not come down anymore, like they did after Covid. Just like the price of labour. Your salary went up and doesn't come down In the UK weekly earnings increased 34% from December 2019 to December 2025. CPI went up 30% in the same period. Obviously that CPI covers things which went up more, and things which went up less, and your personal inflation will be different to everyone elses. Petrol prices end of Jan 2020 were 128p a litre, end of Jan 2025 they are 132p a litre [0]. Indeed petrol prices were 132p in January 2013. If you drive 40,000 miles a year you will thus see far lower inflation than someone who doesn't drive. | ||
