Consider yourself lucky you're not across the sea in the Netherlands. Inflation is 14%+ and household purchasing power is below the level it was 20 years ago.


I mean that's like every other EU county at this point. Is there anything specific to the Netherlands I'm missing?


Inflation is 6% higher than the average* , and nominal wages are up <4% * https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/15265521/2-1...


According to that, Hungary and the Baltic states are hit far worse than the Netherlands.

Poland GDP per capita PPP is twice the amount 20 year ago. Most neighboring EU countries have similar results.
