How is inflation effecting you in 2022?

[Zhorro]

In the UK, due to the energy price increases, in October each household is due to get £200 (ok, loan) off their energy bills.  My question is, does anyone know what happens if you get your gas and electricity from different suppliers?  Do you get £200 off your electricity bill and £200 off your gas bill (unlikely)?  Or do the gas and electricity suppliers talk to one another and divide the £200 between them, e.g. 50:50 or 75:25 (even more unlikely!)?  Any thoughts?

I suspect that the plan for the ‘rebate’ was devised in a hurry without being thought through and they haven’t a clue how to administer the situation you outline. I also suspect it was announced before involving local authorities and energy companies. Like most government thinking these days it isn’t joined up thinking.

Give you £200 to justify taking another £800.

try Smarty - ive been with em about 4 years now - £10 a month unlimited calls, texts and 30gb of data - never had a bill over £10 or used all the data

I can feel myself getting on a right one here.  We are looking down the barrel of a 20%+ inflation by the end of the year.   If the CPI was changed only to include most peoples monthly outgoings. Food, utility, fuel, commuting, rent/mortgage, council tax, child care, debt repayments, then the real inflation figures would be north of 15% now.

Employ 5,000 more civil servants .. undertake a report on the issues..   after a year of chaos start an enquiry into the missing hundreds of millions..

remove the cold weather allowance for the elderly.  Raise N.I.  For a heating poverty NHS fund .. 

claim the ‘government’ is helping you by pissing your money away.

Apparently, if you use the same metrics as were used in 1980, inflation is currently 15% in America. And rising.

Just to re cap my price increase this year and will come back to this page to see if anything else has change.

can of tomato soup was 33p  now 40p   21% increase

1 litre of UHT milk was 50p now 55p       10% increase

jar of coffee was £1.89 now £1.99            5.2% increase 

Mobile phone charges                               11.7% increase

Diesel is now at £1.51

The big one for everyone will be when they have been robbed on their energy bills.

The Banking cartel is denying it. While the Fed has printed more.

The collapse of the West is happening right in front of us.

Logic tells you that we need let the system collapse (obviously with relief). Build to the future with assets that are real, production and housing. Eliminate speculation to cash only speculation so that it guarantees falls without any bailouts/assistance. Do that, we in the West will recover but it will take a long time, but it is completely necessary.

Judging the stats alone, 70% dont want to work in any type of production or productive environment. Easily 85% of the Western population is blinded by the propaganda, which not only is associated with damaging foreign policy but also financial.

If you add in historical facts and cycles, its almost 99.9% that we are seeing the fall of the West.

I keep talking about it to people, posting about it, but no one seems to care (which is there right). When that reaction of not caring is the response its also an indicator that we are headed into an era of insanity.

Im not convinced we are mentally or physically prepared to identify the problem we face out of ignorance and being deceived by the Banking cartel. Most people are overweight, most people are completely deranged, most people are unable to think and most people cackle at any reference point in history. They have surrendered all of their existence to the Elites.

The only preparedness I think we should all be doing (the ones who can see it coming) is getting energy prepared - some sort of portable energy system. I am not convinced the West can survive the impeding energy demand in the next couple of decades. This will cause a food shortage. Deaths are guaranteed.

That is insane 100% increase on gas no way are wages keeping in line with this robbery.  We all need a round  a net 35% take home increase to keep up so will need 55-60% more before tax .    My wife just got a 1.7% wage increase this year I got nothing.   We will all just have to absorb these hikes but already its estimated that over 9 million households not people so 30-40% of the population will be in fuel poverty in 2022 (depends on the number of people in the house)  There will be people already who can not afford to to drive to work or take their kids to school.

If it carries on & interest rates get higher then peoples debt will be unaffordable, but we all know that. 
All by design to get these darned digital currencies through I suspect? 70's all over again mk2.

A few times that I bought tonight at Lidl 

can of tomato soup was 33p  now 40p   21% increase

1 litre of UHT milk was 50p now 55p       10% increase

jar of coffee was £1.89 now £1.99            5.2% increase 

Forget stacking PM's I'd be better off flipping tins of soup! 

 

Just collating the price increase so I can come back and have a look in a few months.

Had to change the cars in our household last month. One thing I noticed is the insurance companies estimated value of the vehicle and what I paid was a difference of 80% on both vehicles and this is second hand goods. I shop at Aldi and still seem to be able to feed the family for £70 a week but the missus does the top up from markses and Tesco express, this seems to be throwing us over budget. It would be interesting to know how other countries are fairing.

[FlorinCollector]

Not sure if best place to ask but with the budget Sunak increasing NICs to the same as personal allowance. Could someone more knowledgable tell me if that will happen in Scotland to or is that separate?

[GoldDiggerDave]

My mates monthly energy bill has gone from £134- £197  47%  increase. He now needs to earn over £90 gross to absorb this increase his family petrol/diesel cost have gone up around £55-60 per month so around £85 gross,  so he now needs to earn £2,100 a year more or he's £2,100 worse off every year and  this is not taking into account other costs  

I see my friend as a normal typical family with kids, with all other price increase this year they are likely to be 3-4k worse off this year.   And I would say this would be the case for many normal families.
