How has your economic situation changed over the past 5 years?

Hi r/AskEurope,

I’m curious about how everyday life has changed financially across Europe in the last five years.

• Has your income (wages/salary/pension) kept up with costs?

• What’s changed most for you: rent/mortgage, energy bills, groceries, transport, childcare, healthcare?

• Have your savings/debt situation improved or gotten worse?

• Do you feel more or less financially secure than 5 years ago?

If you’re comfortable sharing, please include your country/region and (optionally) whether you’re a student, working, self-employed, unemployed, retired, etc.
