Even with vastly lower income compared to the US, engineers still live quite comfortable. If we don't get gas we just use electricity for heating. Most probably don't even feel the price development at all. But I expect inflation to be around 10% at the minimum, official numbers are skewed. Especially on day-to-day needs products. For many that earn less it is a difficult time, especially after long lockdowns. Most small commercial venues are dead and there don't seem to be new ones.
