   Nothing to do with inflation.
   
   Prices have been going up here, multiple EU countries actually. It's normally a couple cents a year, so little that you don't notice it, but it's 25 to 50 cents in some cases, that's almost an order of magnitude. Unfortunately if it hasn't hit ireland yet, it soon will. Because every currency is pegged to the dollar, when Uncle Sam falls on the "print" button in a drunken stupor, everyone will be poorer in the long run. Unless you manage to hedge against it. Which is possible, and becoming more accessible each day, but there are a lot of people who don't do it. And when this house of cards comes down they will be the ones holding the bag.
