If you're a pensioner or on benefits, bingo, money goes up with inflation, but if you work, you'll be picking up the bill.
As a pensioner myself now, I do welcome the rise in line with inflation of course.
But remember, you have to count yourself lucky to still be alive to collect your state pension these days, as the government keeps moving the goal posts on the state pension age, further and further out !.
Have personally seen some of my close friends pass away prematurely, prior to receiving the pension that they had contributed into all of their working lives, then thank yourself very lucky that you are in good health and able to work.
My parents had to gain permission from my head master, to allow me to leave school before the end of term, in order for me to start an apprenticeship that I had secured for myself, at the young tender age of 15 years.
I was in full employment until my retirement, so I think I have paid my way in life, but are likely seen as a drain on the system now.
Remember the increase in inflation is not due until April 2023 but we are paying the higher cost of living rises right now !.
I wonder if the energy company and the super markets will wait to get paid until April ?.
