If I remember correctly, you said a few years back you're a public sector wallah. If so, and you haven't realised yet, you are being squeezed and will continue to be trodden on. You more than most ought to invest some thinking time into how you might try to prolong your lifestyle in the face of an ever declining income. Your real income will be around 7% lower than last year and, I'll wager, that will be a small drop to what's coming over the hill.

Apologies. I must have mixed you up with a different lemon around here.

Inflation provides a great tool to reduce virtually everyone to peasanthood. Barter will work for a while as long as people have things to exchange for what they require.
