İNFLATİON, RENTAL AND RESORT PRİCES

[@patriciacarlos]

Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

In this moment, when you can use a capable portfolio advisor to passively learn about and experience a fully varied market, it has never been easier to understand how to increase your money. The implications of a rising or declining dollar on assets, in my opinion, are difficult.

@@stellaadams593 If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach.

It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.

The silent sufferers of the ongoing problems are the stray cats and dogs. Cats have it easier of course, but their food has gotten so expensive, not to mention basic veterinary care (for example neutering or spaying). Where I used to donate monthly to animal sanctuaries, since the start of 2023, I haven't been able to donate anything because I'm in debt just feeding the cats and dogs in my neighbourhood. To anyone visiting, please please support animal charities and ngo's. Thank you!

[@Gokberk_Altug]

Do you know how many people, including little kids, have been killed or disabled by dogs in Turkey in the past couple of years, either directly through attacks, rabies, or by being hit by a truck while trying to escape from a stray dog? Can you understand the suffering experienced by these individuals and their families? Do you know how many bird and other species have gone extinct due to stray cats? The ecosystem relies on balance and a chain reaction. If the balance is disrupted, the ecosystem will collapse. Those who support such actions should remember that they have a role in the deaths of children. Additionally, many of these organizations in Turkey are nothing but scammers.

[@CuteCatsofIstanbul]

@@Gokberk_Altug Do you know how many millions municipalities and the government receive (from for example the EU) for controlling stray animal numbers? Do you know the conditions of these ' animal shelters' and how these operations take place, if they take place ? Do you know what this government has done to stop dog factories, pet shops, this mentality that a puppy is very cute but when it grows up, it's a lot of work? Sure it is HUGE problem, but the solution lies within implementing the law that has been in place since 2004, in 19 years thousands of dogs (and cats) could've been sterilised, and the problem would've been much much less. And I also have to ask you, why aren't you so loud about the earthquake situation in this country? Why aren't you talking about thousands of people who have died in the past in the most horrific way, and millions now who are waiting to die because they have to live in 'çürük' buildings? Of course no kid, no human and no animal should die because of uncontrolled animal populations, but I find it baffling that the same people who complain about dogs do not complain about earthquake deaths, traffic deaths, cancer deaths while millions more die from that. I wish you safety and health.

[@Gokberk_Altug]

@@CuteCatsofIstanbul What you are doing is called ad hominem. And this is the classic "so-called" animal lover defense. How do you know that I didn't speak out against political corruption and couldn't care about earthquake victims? I am one of those who stood for approximately 7 hours in a cold city like Eskisehir, donating blood on the first day of the earthquake. Wishing you a nice day!

[@CuteCatsofIstanbul]

@@Gokberk_Altug Only the second part of my argument was ad hominem because the numbers effected needs to be called out. Another ad hominem - EYT. If only a quarter of those people also called out for their human right to have earthquake safe homes, hospitals, schools, thousands of lives could've been saved. I acknowledge there is a big problem, and inform that the problem is two part - no control over breed dogs and no priority given to sterilising dogs. The solution is not killing these dogs, it is also not endless feeding of these animals. Great that you donated blood, but please please please, call out for your right to 'depreme dirençli yaşam alanları istiyoruz', Eskisehir is a high risk earthquake zone so please be prepared, educate yourself and loved ones, write to the municipality about schools/hospitals' safety. Stay safe.

[@symek2033]

You all have a ☝️ point, but kling dogs or cats should NEVER happen, there should be more government involvement in sterilization of these animals as well a incentive should be given to people in adopting theses strays by way of government reduced health veteran care, inoculation. Children always need supervision while outside. By caring for the animals it doesn't mean people don't CARE for the unfortunate which need help but this can be helped by all community being involved, not parts only.😊

I have to say, there are two sides to every story. Even though "greedy landlords kicking people out" is indeed happening and is terrible, many local landlords are also in a tight spot. Government placed a 25% per annum limit to rental increase, whereas the effective inflation is at 103% (or 43% if you follow TÜİK's numbers, which as a statistician, I do not). Whereas in the Netherlands, for instance, rental increase control was implemented as inflation + 1%. Important to note that this government forced people into investing their savings in real estate, by making sure there is absolutely no alternative to keeping your money safe from inflation. Deposit interest rates are laughable, and keeping foreign currency is becoming increasingly difficult, whereas banks are offering mortgages with interest rates way below inflation. So, the government practically forced people to invest in real estate, then made sure this investment cannot generate enough wealth to cover inflation.

Flights times to Turkey are shocking, flights longer, less regular and more expensive.The big plus Turkey had was value for money. So I worry that Europeans will go elsewhere, missing out on this wonderful country and people. The Lira is only going one way and things will only get worse. I would love to be wrong. Thanks again for the informative video and look forward to your next trip. ❤

Stable and Turkey , don't work together. There is nothing stable about Turkey from the ground it sits on , people , economy , politics and weather.

[@ajdrums8075]

Coast is much more beautiful than Portugal and Spain though.

[@ashvoj]

KZbinrs promoting Turkey ruined it for everyone else. As foreigners poured into Turkey, they brought with themselves western prices to Turkey, and turned Turkey into their native countries.

[@mickandtrudie]

There are many reasons for this situation but I don’t think it’s anything to do with vloggers

[@CH11LER.]

Just come back from a lovely holiday to Oludeniz. Frustratingly, they have changed the strip to be more of a high street. The shop keepers are much more pushy for business than before, and it has lost its charm as it once had. The prices are more expensive than the UK, including the fake T-shirts. I pointed this out that I could get the genuine for the same price in the UK, which they didn't like. I hope this madness stops soon as I genuinely love Turkey but, the prices and the increased pushyness of the shop and restaurant owners were too much. They also need to stop developing Oludeniz as they are ruining it.

[@maccybear8093]

Ölüdeniz is a tourist trap, always has been, always will be. If you take out the lagoon, it has zero charm. It's the Magaluf of Fethiye region.

[@fairjust8072]

Wow we were there and we had to put our name in order the pare glide no one pushed us to buy anything. Türkiye never lose their charm it’s you lost your charm .

[@CH11LER.]

@Fair&Just you're telling me you managed to walk down the main strip from top to bottom, all across the beach front without people trying to pull you into there shops, bars, restaurants or travel excursion desks? We have been 3 times to oludeniz, this is the 1st time we have found the people to be this aggressively targeting people for business. By the second half of the holiday, we would purposely walk the back streets to get to the beach just not to get hounded. You're either not been truthful, or you must be invisible. Either that or Oludeniz is now that busy with tourists, that the shop keepers as simply too busy. We went in mid to late May. It was much quieter than usual as we always go for the same 2 weeks.

[@TheHHIPPO]

Hi Mick, so great to see your coverage on prices and inflation. Prices are really crazy and gone through the roof, in large cities the prices are comparable to prices in UK's major cities. We hope things get better for everyone in Türkiye.

[@davecumber7419]

The problem is, an awful lot of the prices shown can be matched in the UK. I think there is a risk of losing British tourist. I have been to Turkey a few times and love it there but I would seriously consider elsewhere.

[@fairjust8072]

Ohh yeah ? Try Greece where you pay 5 times more for everything. And yes every two years we go from Los Angeles to Türkiye , we love it and it’s not expensive maybe dollar here dollar there we pay more and where don’t you pay more now days . Everywhere prices went up . In USA We used to pay $6.50 for subway sandwich now it’s $9.90 . These cheap Ss rejects from Europe cry paying a dollar more than 5 years ago . They should stay home . Expense of hosting one visitor in Turkiye is 75% they make 25% if they lucky from each tourist. And these cheap ass tourist won’t buy anything ,they never leave their all exclusive mega resort pig out on free all you can eat buffet . Leave 10 lb more weight then they came in

[@gsomethingsomething2658]

True, not cheap at all. Well, cheaper than London.

[@EA-ch2ls]

12:51 its tricky. They wrote 2 for 44,99 but its for each person. So its £3,54. So you have to be carefully

[@trueman2542]

Thank you Mick and Trudie. I really enjoyed your updating of Turkey. 😊

[@intellectualgladiata]

Getting close to western prices. Many will seek out new places if these prices continue.

[@garyfern7653]

Definitely and I’m from Turkey

[@Draminos321]

Enjoyed watching the video. Very informative and up-to-date. We are going to Turkey on holiday in July, so this has been excellent viewing for us. Thank you. Now off to watch more by you.

[@fairjust8072]

Welcome . You will love turkiye . They love you to visit their country and will help you with all your needs . Fly Turkish air they are the best

[@ronaldbeckman3264]

Love you videos. We live in Dalyan beautiful village which like most places is now being redeveloped on outskirts and any green patch that is available in the town area. Since 2008 we have seen many changes some good some no so good. But we love it here and our Land lord and his family have given us a great welcome since moving from the UK. My Turkish is slow coming but I get by ok, maybe in a couple of years I’ll be able to have a conversation with people. But like you we have found a lot of the restaurants are cashing in on the tourist and some of the small market shops to. But we like to try the local food out let’s we can get a foot long donner . Meat or chicken for 100 TL.

[@futurexjam2]

I believe the prices are high for foreigners too.. The prices jumped sky high unfortunately...

[@Gokyuzubeyi]

I wish I could see you one day . I really love how you’re relaxed and informative

[@oggie1967]

Hi guys, Thanks for the info, heading to çalis beach in a few weeks time for a family holiday so handy to know how much prices have gone up. We were in icmeler last summer but fancied trying somewhere different! TBH the prices are still pretty cheap for tourists, it’s the people who live there who are suffering! Great channel, have been re watching your vids that I watched last year!😂👍👏👏👏❤️

[@hasancelik1772]

Selamlar Enflasyonu tane tane akılcı bir anlatımda anlattığınız için teşekkürler. Bizim için hayat daha zor artık çok umudum kalmadı . Muhalefet keşke sizden yardım isteseydi akılcı bir çözüm üretemeden seçimi kayıp ettiler .

[@russellblake659]

If the lira has devalued 3x and inflation is 100 percent. How can you be paying more ? Doesn't make sense 😢

[@mattyjacko123]

Hi Mick and Trudie I'm watching this on holiday in Hisaronu. I've been coming here for the past 10 years, I was here in August 2022 and I've noticed a price increase since then. I have booked to come back in August, I think you just have to look around for prices. Great video 😊

[@travelguy6259]

Me too, staying just up the road. My advise is to shop around, avoiding places that do not show a price or ask before ordering. Prices are comparable with UK.

[@blissfulji]

Wow! What a price jump! Unbelievable

[@Jillybean620]

Fabulous. You two always do such a great job. Thank you.

[@efeninparakanal4993]

it has nothing to do with inflation. if your property 3X's in 2 years in GBP, it's a different problem. Yes obviously it's much harder for the common folk when you add the local inflation in, but even in the US or Dubai properties at least doubled over the last 2 years.

[@vtunce17]

Prices are ok I guess for touristic place, I am saying this as Turkish man who lives in Istanbul. Come to Istanbul and see everything overpriced. Such a shame for us. We are gonna be Argentina if things go on this way.

[@garyfern7653]

Bende Argentine gitmek istiyorum Bu gidisle turkiyede gecim hayel

[@zareegoraya1528]

I think wherever you are prices are really cheap! I just returned from Istanbul after a month long stay and prices are double of what you are quoting ! Just plain Turkish tea is 12-15 lira a very small one! There is nothing in meat less than 300 tl .. it’s absolutely crazy expensive now. Lokantasi nothing was less than 40-50 tl and that is lentil soup! Other dishes no meat were above 70 tl.

[@hybaig]

Moved to turkey 3 years ago, I felt like a millionaire, and now I feel poor. I need to do a day's worth of cardboard collecting just to afford a coffee 😅

[@AsbLondonBroSimWorld]

Thank you for the awesome information great video as usual❤

[@johnskyleir]

You both are lovely. Thanks. I'm john coming to Turkey !!!.

[@armagankuscu2132]

Thank you for this nice video. I just dont agree about the national car brand Togg. That will exactly not boost our economy and not national pride. We have to solve more crucial problems for our economy and pride 😢

[@mickandtrudie]

Maybe your right, but it does look a good car, even though 98% of the population will never be able to afford one

[@barthomer1000]

Greece is no different 47 to 50 euros for a evening meal for 2 only 1 pint of beer and a sprite lemonade. 100 euros for a hire car 3 days last year 70 Euros same company. To expensive to eat out every night. Going to fetiaye in September so depending on prices will stop going abroad.

[@charlesmilitello2252]

You make it sound affordable as you compare everything to the Pound. Yeah, for tourists, maybe! Sorry, I disagree. Many local people are barely getting by and it is a hopeless struggle for those with a family. The rate of inflation has gone off the charts and they blame it on the US dollar, not the Euro or pound, which is ludicrous. The inflation in Turkiye has surpassed the increasing exchange rates of any currency. If exchange rates go down prices DO NOT go down, but when they go up again, to what it was before the decrease, then prices rise again, that is multiple increases on the same product. You may think 200 TL is "not bad' for a portion of lasagna, but I am telling you that is crazy. Most restaurants always used a markup of 300%, but it is now much higher and not in line with Turkish incomes. The problem in Turkiye is that the gov. keeps increasing the minimum wage but immediately jack-up prices by a significantly larger margin. If they want to stabilize the market they need to raise the minimum wage and decrease or freeze prices on goods and services. At the rate they are going, they are only making matters worse. So foreigners need to be more empathic toward the Turkish community and not just view things according to the exchange rates of pounds and euros. I have also heard Irish and English folks who have noted that prices in Turkiye are higher here than in Ireland and England, and it is more expensive to eat out in Turkiye than there. What you also failed to mention is that people need to note what they eat and drink, and check their bills carefully as many restaurants and bars are famous for adding on a few extra drinks, and that is not just for tourists as I have seen and heard of it with people who are regulars to an establishment and once feeling a bit tipsy do not question it as they consider the staff "friends". Add a few extra beers or cocktails and you are talking about sizable differences. Sorry, but that is the current state of affairs in Turkiye!

[@wildbill6366]

Spent two months plus in beautiful Turkiye , great people and food and a beautiful country .... Sadly the Russian have ruined it for many locals and they expressed it to me often . I agree with them . Just too many . People are moving on to better areas and better cultural balance .
