Just as everything gets cheaper and most entertainment is virtually free..all the wages go down to nothing.

I don't know how I could afford the books and records I used to, or even rent a TV like I used to. Its scary because after it all converges as it will, we will start to be charged..but will have no spare money!!?Shock. What's going on?

The cost of living has increased in many ways, entertainment for one has rocketed, it may have become more accessible in some circumstances but it's not cheaper and never would be. Shrinkflation is a recognised term and can be seen in real terms, but the biggest reason as to why there is no spare cash is the elephant in the room to almost every scenario which is the cost of putting a roof over your head.

Excuse my obvious typo from the other night, but a relevant article on shrinkflation which contributes underhandedly to the cost of living increase
