Inflation is currently quite high, but how bad is it really? You’ve probably already noticed that prices have risen slightly in the supermarket. Half a whole grain cost € 0.67 last year, now it is € 0.79. We have already calculated for you how much your groceries will cost in a hundred years if inflation stays that way.
According to Statistics Netherlands, inflation in September was 14.5 percent year over year. Of course, we can safely assume that inflation will remain the same for the next 100 years. This means that everything gets 14.5% more expensive every year. With this simple formula you can calculate how much your groceries will cost in 2122: P (1+ i / n) ˆnt. We have already calculated the future prices of the best-selling products for you.
Prices in a hundred years are actually not that bad. For example, a pack of butter (currently € 2.59) will cost less than two million in a hundred years. Half a whole grain will cost more than six tons in the year 2122. It is therefore wise to shop now in a hundred years.
