RPI

[ashanta]

Just received my insurance for the coming year and it's gone up by 6.25% compared to last year.
I have gone over all of my overheads for the boat during the winter lay up and every thing has gone up well above above the RPI.
My salary increase this year, as in previous years, has been in line with what the government say is the rate of inflation, yet prices of everything have increased significantly above it. I have also had increased NI last year and my company car tax has gone up again from April 1.
Where do they get their RPI figures from? Inflation is much higher in my world.
The only bill I have paid which was not above inflation was my clubs annual membership.

Regards.

Peter.

Be interesting to know, recent survey put a number of local Cornish villages as the highest average house prices. Local radio asked the area council what the average wages were for this village, reply £20,000, average job down here pays £10-12,000. Interesting as to how they get there figures, it was worked out that putting down a 5% deposit on average house, you needed to earn £60,000 to get a mortage for it.

Think there is a parallel world out there, unfortunately we just seem to live in the wrong one.
