[Culturechat] CH Prices II

[Vance Roy]

Here are some prognostications about CH prices in 2002.

Not going to change:
	Wine and Spirits
	Heating oil
	Gasoline
	Postage
	Cigarettes

More expensive:	
	A cup of coffee- up to 15%- minimum wage increase
	A glass of beer- 1.5-2.0% more beer tax
	Health insurance premiums- 9.7%
	Basic price for a train ticket- 3.7%
	Rent- 2-3% because of apt. shortage in cities
	Real estate- 2-3% more depending on the region
	Butter down due to subsidy cut
	Eating out and hair dresser due to minimum wage hike
	Fitness clubs, wellness- due to customer demand

Less expensive:
	Meat- over supply of beef
	Fruits and vegetables- over supply
	Interest rates
	Travel- stable dollar and over supply of offers
	Taxes- in numerous communities the rates will sink

So, time will tell.
