Also Inflation is measured really strangely in Germany. The official number is +7.4%. However, as someone who has no car and owns no home my main expenditures are:

- rent (+13 % if I don’t move, at least +30% if I move).

- groceries (+20% up until + 50%)

- eating out / going out.(+20%)

For this year only! Most prices have already risen in 2021 “due to Covid”…

I guess for elderly people in cities it will be similar, probably less going out even and more groceries.

So I really wonder how they come up with this number.
