The omnipresent economical crisis seems to be our number one scapegoat for the declining purchasing power.
Strange, because when we look at some raw numbers, the average wage increased by 2.4%(before indexation), more than enough to maintain a rational prosperity level.
Unfortunately, we are very easily biased by todays consumer-society , wanting all of those "every-day" consumer goods(like that new Plasma HD-TV, the new cellphones for the kids with accompanying subscriptions, the new car and a GPS for the old one) without seeing any effect on our current/savings account.
So instead of changing our lifestyles, we demand an income fit for our expenses, rather than fitting our expenses in our income.
