Here in the UK from 1972 to now the loss of value of the ? is at least 20x, 
for a house more like 30 to 40x.
IMHO inflation is a big problem, little addressed by governments or banks, 
since it suits their business plan, but a catastrophe for the rest of us who 
have saved for retirement.
Having a situation where currency is worth less and less is truly absurd 
since money was invented as an exchange token to offset bartering time 
differences. It is nowadays treated like a commodity worth having in itself, 
and manipulated by greedy ruthless b*stards.
