Why does inflation feel higher than the official number?
Because the inflation rate is an average. Your experience of inflation isn’t.
Since August 2021, overall prices in France have risen by around 17%.
But groceries are up 24%, energy: 44%.
And that difference matters.
The inflation index is built from an average basket of goods and services. But no household actually spends according to that exact basket.
For households that spend a larger share of their budget on essentials like food, energy or housing, increases in those categories can weigh much more heavily.
There’s also what the index can’t fully capture: how we adapt when prices rise.
If the meat you usually buy becomes too expensive, you might not spend more.
You might buy a cheaper cut instead. If your usual brand goes up, you switch to a lower-cost alternative. Or you simply buy less.
On paper, your spending may not have changed much. But what the same amount of money gets you has.
You’re spending the same to get less, or to get a lower-quality alternative. And over time, those compromises can mean a real decline in your standard of living, even if they aren’t obvious from the headline inflation number.
That’s why the official number and what you feel at the checkout can both be true.
Inflation measures the average. Purchasing power is lived individually.

In late June 2026, Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposed wiping out the €488 billion the French state owes the Banque de France. The central bank's governor said on RTL it would be illegal and pointless. Yet according to one poll, 43% of French people support the idea, while 31% oppose it.
We took both sides' arguments seriously, figures included. There's one point neither side is talking about, and you're the one signing for it.

France’s debt problem is a crisis in waiting. 😮💨
France is borrowing at rates we haven’t seen since 2008.
At first glance, this sounds like a story about bond markets and government debt.
But eventually, it becomes a story about you.
When a heavily indebted country has to refinance its debt at higher interest rates, more of its budget can eventually go towards paying interest.
And that leaves harder choices elsewhere.
Higher taxes.
Less room for public spending.
Or policies that, over time, can contribute to inflation and loss of purchasing power.
The effects of the third can be much more gradual.
You see them over years, in what €100 can buy. In how much more you need to put aside for the same future. In the difference between the amount you've saved and the purchasing power you've actually preserved.
That’s why saving for the long term isn’t only about accumulating more euros.
It’s also about understanding the money you’re saving in.
