Why is life getting so expensive?

[turmidi]

because life is competitive, the population continues growing up and the human needs automatically is also growing up. In fact, the many people don't have  good salary.

Few years ago I was able to buy all I need to survive for €100 ($120) a week (rent not included). Today I at least need €200 ($240), although I mostly buy the same stuff as before. What do you think is the reason and what implication does it have long term?

Inflation. Money is becoming less valuable.

Unfortunately inflation has always been a problem and will always be a problem. Inflation goes up and the value of your currency will go down, making things more and more expensive as time goes on.

its because fiat is losing its value, or maybe in the country you live in has a inflation or hyperinflation going on that's why you feel your money's worth is getting low.

Inflation is the most likely culprit, simply the value of money is not what it used to be. It is however not an even story because in some categories you have a deflationary cycle going on - where you are getting more for the same amount of money, think technoogy products etc, this manifests itself in things like a laptop or a phone remaining at a constant price with capacity and features increasing every year.

It’s because of all the inflation from the money printing to maintain the debt cycle.

[skillink]

it is inflation, just as in my country (Indonesia) 17 Years ago 2 million rupiah could buy a lot of land, now can only buy land 2 - 4 square meters.

Greed my friend we are all greedy persons. We make Prices go up!

[bluemongrel]

Eh, life has always been difficult and expensive. Most people live in need, throughout history. It's just that life becomes challenging in different ways now. I think however, in most countries, our standard of living and human rights is still better than the past. We're just as unhappy however.
