Idk, being French, this November was the first time ever I got negative on my paycheck before the end of the month, while having a relatively good salary (400€+ than minimum) and not buying any fancy stuff, most of the food I used to buy went +1€ to +3€ in the last two years. +150€ on rental charges. Energy bill went to the roof and the company behind told us they'd start grid power outage tests soon to anticipate for real ones, in which case there is no backup plan atm for emergency calls/services.
If this is what not having harsh inflation is, I have no clue how all these other countries are surviving.
