I Just Don't Earn Enough Money To Spend &Nbsp; "I'm Always Behind CPI's Butt".

Mention CPI Cui Hong, whose family income is more than 4000 yuan (a pseudonym), pointed to this newspaper, "Hebei CPI rose 2.5% in September," said: "for us, it is the most expensive food." in September, CPI rose 0.3% in our province, up 2.5% compared with the same period last year, or 0.7 percentage points lower than last month, showing a sharp downward trend. But "Cui Hong" did not feel down. On the contrary, they felt that buying grain, buying meat and buying fruits and vegetables were all going up.

　 price In the age of soaring, whether eating, wearing, using, living and travelling has been affected by all aspects of our lives? Let's take a look at the CPI in the hands of ordinary citizens of the provincial capital, Cui Jun.

　　 Eat: an apple is more than two yuan.

"It's too expensive to eat." Cui Hong pointed to Fuji apple, saying that the retail price of 4 yuan, an apple 562, calculated that eating an apple costs two yuan more. These days, Cui Hong found that the apples on the fruit stand were too expensive, some stalls even sold to five or six yuan per catty. Speaking of Apple prices, stall owners complain that "too expensive". "The wholesale price of most apples is concentrated at two or three yuan per catty, some even to 4 yuan, the quality below two yuan is quite general."

Apple can not eat, but vegetables, rice and grain and oil are indispensable. "35 years ago, many dishes were below one yuan a kilogram. Now you can see less than one yuan, and potatoes are almost 2 yuan a kilogram. On the two day, tomatoes also rose fiercely, and a medium-sized tomato cost 1 yuan. Cui Hong sighed, but the dishes still had to be eaten, but the expensive dishes such as garlic sprouts and beans were slowly disappearing from her table and replaced with relatively inexpensive dishes such as cabbage and carrots. But even in this way, the living expenses of the three families of Cui Hong family are above 1000 yuan per month.

　 Wear: one piece. Down Jackets The price is $1000.

It's getting cold. Cui Hong wants to buy a down jacket or cotton dress. "Have you ever gone to the mall? Do you know how expensive the clothes are? A down jacket is priced at 1000 yuan, and clothes of more than 1000 yuan are everywhere." Cui Hong did not know who bought it, but she could not afford it. In the past few days, the mall has been doing activities, and she has not been willing to buy a dress. "I want to buy a good quality cotton dress for my children. It costs two hundred or three hundred yuan to pay for the discount. It's too expensive!" in Cui Hong's memory, 500 yuan before pregnancy (3 years ago) can buy a good dress in the mall. "Now, it seems that I want to be insulated from the mall." Cui Hong could only turn to the shop on the street, and found that the clothes in the small shop were not cheap. In the past, one hundred or two hundred yuan could buy a nice dress in a small store.

In fact, clothing prices generally rose by 10 to 20% due to comprehensive factors such as cotton, raw materials, freight and artificial price increases. A large store clothing cabinet salesperson told reporters that in the past month or so, the average price has increased by about 20%.

　　 Residence: commodity housing price has increased 3 times in 5 years.

Cui Hong's housing is located in the southeast corner of the provincial capital. It is a two bedroom apartment of 60 square meters. "Bought in 2004, it was about 1800 yuan per square meter, all of which came down 100 thousand, and the loan was 60 thousand yuan." The price of 1800 yuan is still high for Cui Hong, who has just joined the work for 3 years, so they chose a small apartment at that time. "Now I regret that I should borrow more money, borrow more money and buy bigger ones, so I don't need to rush to change rooms now." Cui Hong said that a few years ago, she watched the housing prices rise everywhere, and the average price was basically over 6000 yuan. In 2004, the surrounding high-end property market was only 3000 yuan (per square meter). In contrast, the income of Cui Hong and her husband did not increase, and the same money earned more than before. "The price of 1800 yuan is hard to buy, not to mention the high price of 6000 yuan." Cui Hong smiles bitterly.

　 Feelings: income is actually reduced by 30%.

Cui Hong told reporters that she and her husband worked in private enterprises and jumped several units in recent years, but their overall income did not increase. "Some units say that the treatment is very good, but the deduction is also very serious, so the wages are offset some." In the face of rising prices, Cui Hong and her husband had to take some private jobs and work overtime, even though the family income was increased by about 30% compared to 6 years ago. But house prices have increased by 2 times, the rent has doubled, the same rice is 2.4 yuan / kg, an increase of 50%, a takeaway rose from 4 yuan to 6 yuan, an increase of 50%. "Buy what to rise!" in popular Internet terms: CPI, you know. "It is not hard to find that although my income has increased by 30%, the average price has increased by 60%, and in fact, my income has decreased by 30%." Cui Hong said that if you want to maintain your old life, you need to get it from other sources - or choose to save 30% of the expenses, or make 30% more in your spare time, so as to offset the impact of price rises.

　 Outlook: will prices drop in the three quarter?

In the year when CPI continues to rise, from mung bean, garlic to ginger, from grain, clothing to housing prices, the people really feel the continuous rise of prices. "I don't care how much CPI is, and price rises are constantly happening around me. What data, new heights and even rising prices are floating clouds. I only care about when prices will drop."

In this regard, experts believe that prices in the late two major issues need attention. First, there is still room for food prices to rise. As the end of the year draws near, the increase in consumer demand will increase the price of pork and eggs. Some natural disasters will also drive up vegetable prices. And the rising prices of food and vegetables will also be transmitted to many fields. Two, public goods price adjustment projects may be introduced. The rising price of food, energy and other necessities will play a strong role in promoting the overall level of CPI in the late stage.
