I must object to that, Bewolf. I am aware of the effects of inflation, energy and food speculations and such more. But if after 2-3 years you spend for the same habits and conuming behavior the same money in humbers, but not in DM but in Euro, then definately more than just inflation has something to do with it. and developement of wages, or lack of it, must be seen separarte anyway. If it were like oyu said, then in the early years after the euro arrival, 50 euros should have gotten me as far as 100 DM. But today, several years later, I easily spend instead of those 100 DM - 100 euros. for items of everday life, keep that in mind - I do not calculate with oil, car petrol, and restaurant visits.
