​
What cost few months ago 100€ now it cost 110€ - 120€. That means that to make a simple example if you earned 1.000€, few months ago you could buy 10 items and now you if you receive the same salary, because the prices have risen you can only buy can only obtain 8-9 items. In a very short period of time. You have lost purchase power.
