1. Whatever your heat bill was in 2021....it'll double by the end of 2022, and likely edge up again over the first quarter of 2023. Go figure you pay in late spring....3 times the bill of 2021. Where the money will come from? Anyone's guess, but I would suggest some gov't gift to arrive by March 2023....some 200 Euro to ease your burden (not near enough).
2. Eating out prices will escalate by 50 to 100 percent. Any guy using a gas-powered stove for cooking....probably will find fewer people willing to pay 50-percent more on their normal bill.
3. If you do go to a movie (kino) this winter....expect the indoor temp to be in the 16-to-18 C range (60 to 66 F).
4. People with fireplaces will be buying an excessive amount of firewood/coal. I expect black market activities for firewood to take off big this winter.
5. By January, I expect more than 100,000 retired Germans to sign up for a four-to-six week trip to Turkish beach resorts.....lowering the home temperature to 5 C, and using the natural gas money instead for a 4-star hotel resort.
