Ask LEO: Is your inflation rampant and are your prices soaring

Ask Leo: Is your inflation rampant and are your prices soaring?

It seems to me that we are all watching our fiat go up in smoke!

Ever since that day six months ago when Ukraine was invaded, things have just skyrocketed!

It started with fuel prices hitting record highs then dropping slightly. Food prices going up on a daily basis. The list is endless of what is going up and up.

I am not sure where you are from, but here in the UK we now have inflation over 10% and hitting 40 year highs. Some estimates put UK inflation hitting 18% next year!

Energy prices this October are going to be three times what they were last year. The UK is in for very hard times. People are struggling already, heaven help us if we have a harsh winter.

We are waiting to see what out governement will do to help people.

Meanwhile we justsit and watch ourmoney go in inflames. At least the internet and phone plans have not increased, that is one blessing I guess!

Is your goverment doing anything to help the people?

I know for example that Germans get €9-a-month travel in response to energy price rises . Although I think that was only for the summer months.

Every time I goto the grocery store I see another product which has risen in price.

Even coffee which I love and am addicted to, has been getting more expensive almost weekly. The coffee I buy is now 50% more expensive than it was in January! Maybe that prompted me to have to post a #coffee #thread today

Now we have strikes for more pay. The binmen are on strike now, I think tomorrow is the last bin collection for me for a while! Previously buses and trains were affected over the summer.

What is happening in your country my fellow Leos?

• Is inflation rampant?

• Are there strikes for pay happening?

• Are your prices rising?
