fear of inflation, pensions will remain the focus
One recent study by the German Institute for Pensions (DIA), according to almost all German expect an increase in inflation. For more than one in two is a big problem. How the Germans want to save the future.
expect 86 percent of Germans for the coming years by rising prices. Many are therefore also concerned about their retirement. This is the result of a recent representative study by Forsa on behalf of the German Institute for Retirement Provision (DIA), for which 1,000 people were surveyed over 18 years. Accordingly
expected 42 percent with an inflation rate of two percent on average, every fifth person charged with three, one in ten respondents even with more than three percent.
For 57 percent of Germans Inflation by a large or very large problem, 43 percent feel is less affected. Especially East Germans (67 percent) and women (63 percent) consider them with above-average major concern.
It will save no less
This does not automatically lead to a change in savings behavior. 59 percent would save more than today. 71 percent would do specifically to save up for their retirement as much money as it is today, 14 percent would want to save more here.
hold for the safest form of investment in this context, three out of four respondents (75 percent) owner-occupied properties. 62 percent call it real estate and land as an investment. Multiple answers were allowed. Considerably less agreement

This survey shows us once again the urgency of the issue inflation. However, forces itself on these results, the question: "Why play for the Germans, the inflation-protected investments in precious metals such a small role? "
Could it be perhaps that the German has still not realized that the beloved paper money will be in the not too distant future to what it actually is, namely ONLY paper" and the legal rights and often only on paper is no real value?
what needs to happen in order for the German wakes up?
obviously all you have deleted the fall of 2008 from memory!
