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. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
@@davidjackson4437 I encountered Amanda Ashley Hale through a CNBC interview, and I emailed her. She is guiding me. Since then, she has given me chances to buy and sell the stocks in which I'm interested. You can hunt her up online if you require care supervision.
@@kollykolly Insightful... I was curious after reading what you shared, so I made a quick online research on her name. I came across her webpage.
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!
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.
@@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.
@@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!
@@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.
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.😊
Nice to see you guys being empathetic towards the Turks:) Us Expats also need to speak up and support the Turks.
A revolution is needed
@Faux Sho what do you mean? An Expat is someone who lives abroad.
I feel at home in Turkey.
@@brasni1 great to hear that I cant even live in my own country 🙈cant bear the politics 😄
@@Taichigirl311 Best to avoid politics when visiting another country. It is common courtesy and who needs pointless discussions, anyway.
Income distribution has deteriorated so much that the middle class has disappeared, there are 2 classes as rich and poor, and the holiday areas have become livable for tourists and rich Turks.
Sounds like here in the U.S. People are homeless and seniors living in vans.😒
You make amazing videos. BBC should take notice.
Mick.... I lived in Turkey for 3 years, albeit a few years ago, locals could afford to eat at these restaurants. It is evident it is now pretty much tourists as only they can easily afford this. The prices you say are "pretty good" I fear are way too high.....I would expect the prices to be at least half this if I were to go now.....makes me feel very uneasy today.....the situation is not stable in my opinion.
Pretty good for tourists, but I understand not for Turkish people unless you are one of the wealthy 🙈
@@mickandtrudieThanks for your response. Not a good picture in Turkey today, virtually a dollarised economy,........sadly. No change in democratic leadership.....I plan to revisit my old haunts end of the summer, will be interesting.
Turks cook better food in their homes . If Türkiye is to expensive for you that means you are to poor to take international trips . Stay home watch it on TH-cam
Exactly. Their optimism and frothy response to the prices they have shown in this video are really tone deaf to the terrible situation for hard-working Turkish people. Their happy-go-lucky response to these incredible prices is disgusting, and make them part of the problem. So take they should take their British pounds and go back to Spain with the other YOBS. So disrespectful to Turkish people...
The economic situation there is unsustainable. Too little action far too late. I hope that someday it will stabilize, but the damage from one person's flawed ideas about how to run an economy, is unimaginable. I'm glad I live in a flawed democracy, rather than a fascist state where one person holds both executive and monetary policy power. No economist agreed with how things were handled by this man for YEARS. Turkey needs an independent central bank to avoid this kind of disaster in the future.
As a young girl, I don't feel safe because of refugees. As a student, I can't get the things I want, everything is so expensive... I need a computer but the prices are going up every day. Life is very hard. I've never even been able to go on vacation in my life. Refugees and Turks living abroad to come and buy whatever they want but we can't buy what we want that's not fair. I deserve to live like a human being. They say" Your country is beautiful the economy is good, but they don't know what we're going through. Thanks for this insightful video
Where do you live ? Which town or city
@@mickandtrudie I live in Mersin.
It is definitely hard but I hope you don't think things are going great in other countries like often displayed on turk expats' youtube videos that are trying to attract subscribers etc. Global economy is in deep sh*t. Turks jut had it a bit harder. Oh also you only see the upper middle or the rich of the russians, ukrainians or others,l around u, not their ordinary locals or peasants.
@@TK-qv4xh I am ashamed of the disgusting actions of Turks living in other countries. So you're right. There are a lot of Russians and Ukrainians where I live, but they don't bother me. I am not afraid of them. I am afraid of Syrians and Afghans.
I feel the same about refugees and get gaslighted. I live in nyc and there’s refugees everywhere. I don’t feel comfortable going out at all. Very ridiculous. So expensive I can’t even afford a 1bd apartment on my own.
turkish lira is overvalued 80-100%, it needs to be devalued...central bank depleted all their reserves plus whatever they borrowed from other central banks in order to prevent devaluation but they have no choice now but to devalue the lira
We're in turkey at this moment and we found it to be pricey compared to 2019 when we were here. When you convert TL to another currency 💲💵 other than the UK pond it's expensive😮 most things in stores are above prices back home Australia,😵💫 Also when Turkish establishments see a foreigner the price starts from top 🔝, absolutely NO prices on any products apart from chain stores. Tied of bartering 🤪
The prices are really nice compared to Izmir and Istanbul. You might have to make this video again in July, Mick amca.
I visited Turkey in 2018, meals for 5 persons in McDonald was around 100 T.L before a week ago we visited it again and it was more than 100 T.L for 1 person only for the same meal. Crazy inflation
Yesterday i saw a photo it says an apartment in ghetto of İstanbul same price as a single house with pool and garden in Miami it's 359k dollar.
Wow, Turkey is getting really expensive place then. Some things are super cheap, but some are almost like here in the UK.
Last year I spend two months traveling to Türkiye , I spent most of my time on the coast. I have so much love and respect to the Turkish people
What helped you develop your affection? 😢
@@russellblake659 and why this makes you sad?
@@3vgezer makes me sad ? What do you mean, I was asking a question.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@russellblake659 There is a sad emoition at the end of the sentence?

Appreciate your videos, Mick! As a Turk myself who study abroad seeing the beautiful coastline of where I grow up through your lenses is sensational. You’re doing great and actually your promotion is so good that no other agency can do it. Have a wonderful day
Thank you for such a lovely comment🤠🙋♀️
Loved your latest video on Turkey! It was super helpful and informative. You covered everything from prices to properties and even holidays.
May allah bless the land of Turkiye! And the people!!!
Turkey is more expensive than England now..I don't know what happened to prices...I hope It stops soon because the prices are still increasing...
Macaristandan yeni geldim. Türkiye bedava...
Still planing to visit next year. Love your channel from NZ
@@Naniii1914 Loop niet te lullen ik kom uit Nederland broodje adana kost 9,50 in Eindhoven. (Don't bullshit people I am from the Netherlands ekmek adana 9,50 euro in Eindhoven). I am looking at a menu as I speak.
@@alicebunny9745 Turks living in Europe (Almanya Turks) who voted for rte try to downplay the situation in Turkiye by pretending the situation is even worse in Western Europe. Which its obviously not.
@@alicebunny9745 yes big shame
As a Turk who lives in the UK, those prices are insane to me. Yes there is inflation but it looks like everyone is taking advantage of the situation which is not fair. Food prices are up nearly 50% in the UK as well but official inflation is just 9% if you believe the government. Crazy times we live in.
Türkiye'de 26-30 TL ye orta boy pizza yiyebiliyorken son 10 yılda 82TL oldu. Maaşlara yapılan zam yetmiyor..
Ekmek 1TL den 5TL oldu. Su 1TL den ucuzdu o da 5TL oldu.
There's plenty of price gouging, so you have to consider what you're spending on. It's impossible to conceal inflation.
I feel for the locals, no idea how they are managing to live
Mike ,this is super news 😂Britishes may travel to Turkey x4 times in a year anymore rather than to buy a flat 😂😂😂😂
I didn't visit Turkiye since 2019 and last year was really planning to travel there and stay for a couple of months. But due to some obstacles, I wasn't able to come to Turkiye. With those prices looks like I'm not visiting in the nearest future, sadly (((
Thank you so much for honest insight from a British eye living in Turkey, but mainly for your emphatic approach. All the best!
burak it s called TURKIYE, not turkey,,the birdie🙃🙂
@@johnmoon4802 But.. I wasn't talking about the country, I was talking about the birdie
even non Turks have started adopting the correct term which is Turkiye/Türkiye but you stubborn Turks are still not supporting this just because it was pushed forward by AKP and Erdogan (i'm a fierce opposition to Erdogan and AKP). "Turkey" the spelling and pronunciation is far off from the original.
Yeah ... as a upper-middle class Turkish person living abroad, even I find it almost impossible to buy somewhere decent these days ... So I'll stick to my sisters place lol.
Hello from Coventry. I'm a Turkish citizen. All of the prices are the same in Türkiye as here :)) Mainly reasons for this are high importing and high currency rates in Türkiye!
In my opinion, there will be less demand or people will visit but will reduce the length of stay. Personally, I have chosen another country this year for vacation.
Turkey was cheap that's why tourists used to prefer Turkey back in the days. However now, it is more expensive than Florida, USA or Cancun, Mexico. I believe that tourists will notice that soon and and they will be interested in these places.
That is certainly not true
My wife and I got caught at Dalaman airport for £27 for two rolls and 2 chocolate bars, But I have to say that the Hamsi bars was our go to stop most days for a drink as we liked the atmosphere and the decor. And it was a nice walk from the Sundia where we were staying. Roll on September 2024 when we come back. We love the turkish people and have enjoyed every trip we have made there. The Duck pond in Fethiye old town is very good to.
Hamsi bar 🤠
Meat and alcohol prices have sky rocketed. Also, the home owners have no choice but to raise the rental fees, a 4000 tl per month two years ago can in no way meet the needs of the home owner, of course they shouldn’t over do it but seriously the rents need to be at least 10.000 tl a month and even that isnt enough these days.
once you said "Türkiye" at the opening seen insted of "Turkey" once more you earn our heart as foreigner to this country.
and also thank you for telling and showing the truth once again.
best regards..
Bro they have already changed name as Turkiye instead of Turkey. There is no any spesific thing.
These people are idiots who care about minor things like this, Turkey turkiye no one cares.
@@cmerdl bro r u high or sth?
Thank you again. Will be in calis for sixth time at Jiva resort. Love the Turkish people and so kind to children. Don’t know how locals manage with the prices
I am in Turkey now. I stayed at a hotel in Antalya for $37/night last summer. This summer is $85/night for the same place and same time of the year.
3 years ago when we arrived a 3 bed apartment was 3500tl then the second year it went to 5000tl then last year shot up to min 10000tl currently a 2 bed and 3 bed will set you back 15000tl. a month. irrespective of this we have no plans to return to UK fingers crossed we love our new home and adopted people. Show them respect and they do same back.
Lovely comment
I've been watching your channel from when we arrived so learnt from the best.
Very interesting, thank you mick and trudi 😊
Tatile çıkmadan önce fiyatları gördüğümüz iyi oldu,bizleri bilgilendirdiğiniz için çok teşekkürler..İyi gezmeler..
Greed has taken over in Türkiye too. What a shame.
Are you suggesting something has changed? 😢
Unfortunately 😬 it has arrived and never will be the same.
The traditional turkey has become westernized little left of traditional turkey.
What greed . ?
@@fairjust8072 Have you been?
@@russellblake659 We had plans to go back to Türkiye but now, with all this madness, we won't.
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.
Great info 🤠
Yes Mick,you're obviously not an economist,just empty-headed leftist bafoon like all internet "podcasters".
Just back from Marmaris where average spirits price is £8
Video was uploaded an hour ago. Already the Turkish lira has taken a major dip and a £ gets your 26.2. Even a video uploaded a hour ago with prices of things are wrong and have taken another increase. Turkey is a failed economy
Are you Greek lol
Mick amca kader kader 😂 bu halk daha beterini hakediyor.
En son açıklanan rakamlara göre Türkiye'nin zeka seviyesi 86.. Düşük zekalı yani.. Zaten ondan aşağısı da artık gerizekalılık sayılır..
We go Turkiye twice a year every year. We were in Marmaris/Icmeler last two weeks and the place was really quiet - all saying trade was very poor. Our resort was half empty and way down on usual May occupancy (Turban Marmaris). Most people staying one week not two.
Lovely to see you again😊
Good old days always run short. Thanks for the update. My wife and I are eager to visit Türkiye soon.
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.
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.
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 .
@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.
@@CH11LER. so what
I love you guys, only English decency can make you soooooo respectful to another country and culture. I am Kazakh and my husband Turk, but we are living in UK and very happy with this. Thank you for your job, all your videos full of love to Turkey, we do appreciate that so much. God bless you 🙏❤🤗😘
Very true with whats been said in this video
In turkey at the moment...ive noticed a fair few russians around fethiye...guess they have moved away from all the troubles in Russia. I have been contemplating for a few years whether to invest in property around fethiye...however after looking at prices now....thats out of the window.
Also prices have slightly gone up in terms of going out to eat etc....then again where hasnt.
Still a lovely country which i will continue to visit
We have just come back from Turkey 🇹🇷 we won't be going back. One man dictater the country is not freedom. Sad😢
good, few less foreigners..
Teşekkürler tatlı insanlar.
Thanks for another great video... for us Turks things have been going downhill for some time, and until the last 2 rounds of elections we had a bit of hope that things could change. But that hope has vanished into thin air, and we're back to the reality...
Mick this is a very helpful and great video 🫶
Thank you both, still prices there are less than living in the USA. I'm Florida and inflation is everywhere. Prices here are so high for everything. We used to get away locally to a hotel now prices have triple and not worth it. Food is super expensive and housing market forget it. A 2/2 rental apt in an ok area starts at $1900 and up. it's crazy expensive. If you want to buy a decent home you need at least 350k. 😢 Wishing much safety and health.
Keep in mind that the monthly minimum wage in Turkey is about 400$ 😊 (probably going to be bumped up to 500 soon) and half of the country is working on minimum wage. Prices are good if you are earning your wages from external resources/currencies and spend them here.
very informative thank you sir,
love you both!!
As Turkish people we live the worst time of our life in Türkiye. When I was younger life was easy and we were happy. A person could afford to buy everything with salary. When people retired they could buy a house with their severance pay or retirement grant. Now you can't buy even a car with your retirement grant.
Your childhood may have been easy, but many Turks had to work without insurance back then. They are happy to be able to work at all. Now people are migrating to make more money. At that time they had to emigrate because they had no work here.
@@asgariendise2979 it isn't true. I am 55 years old. My father was civil servant and we could live well. When I graduated from university in 1990, we didn't have to worry about finding job. I graduated on June and started working on September. You aren't objective as you evaluate matters politically but I don't support any political party and I tell the truth.
@@asgariendise2979 My relative who had worked in a factory as an ordinary worker could buy an apartment in Ankara when he was retired. All these are true. Don't try to manipulate things to justify the political party you support. Be honest!
My ancestors first had to emigrate to ankara to find work. Unemployment was so high that my grandfather had to emigrate to Western Europe. I am the generation that was born in Europe. At the age of 30 I came back to Turkey as a trained person. In the past it was not even possible to get an education compared to today. You and your family were perhaps a little more privileged than mine in this matter. I try not to manipulate anything. You give your family as an example I mine. I belong to the majority.
@@asgariendise2979 This country is in this state thanks to people who lie for Erdogan like you. Stop spewing lies and half-truths. Education today is non-existent. The economy is in a worse state then 1970s when we got sanctioned by US and EU. My father was a teacher and my mother worked at a bank. We could buy a house. I can't even dream about buying a car now. I worry about making it to the end of the month and it's just 6th of this month. We are 6 days in and I barely have any money left after paying my bills and buying groceries for a week.
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 😅
Wow! What a price jump! Unbelievable
I love watching your videos, have been for years now...loads of support all the way from Cape Town, South Africans 🎉
I wish I could see you one day . I really love how you’re relaxed and informative
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!
Getting close to western prices. Many will seek out new places if these prices continue.
Definitely and I’m from Turkey
GREAT reporting as always and lots of information about the current situation. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Mick amca for the information. We’re coming from China to Turkiye by the end of June.
Another fab video.
We have had our Turkish holiday
home in Didim since 2006. To be honest prices were stable for many years and value for money outstanding. However in the last 3 the picture has changed and last year and this year especially. I will not criticise as prices are going going up everywhere and my hearts bleeds for ordinary Turks. They will not be at beachfronts having coffee and cake for £4! Or £26 in Çeşme!
My big fear guys is that if tourists from the UK arrive and see prices the same as in Spain( we were in Alicante and Benidorm earlier this year), then they will think twice about coming. 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.
Coast is much more beautiful than Portugal and Spain though.
Lovely seeing you both it's been a while.
I remember going to Turkey in 2010 and it was 2.21 lira to a pound.
Today it was over 26... how the hell could this happen !!!
But Turkey has been through tough times before and will get through this...
👍👍👍
It's not a secret , Erdogan is economically incompetent
Probably not with Erdogan but thanks for your support 👍
Thanks for sharing your video, very interesting 👍 😊
Çok teşekkür ederim. Harika bir video ki gerçekleri söyledi.
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.
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
True, not cheap at all. Well, cheaper than London.
Thank you guys for being part of Türkiye people and your informative video. ❤❤❤
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.
🙏👍👍👍👏❤️👏👍👍👍🙏
🙏Thanks for video, it was very useful 🙏
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.
Thank you for the information.
I've just returned from beautiful Dalyan and the prices were very reasonable for a solo backpack traveller.
I guess it depends on the resort.
Love Fethiye.
If the lira has devalued 3x and inflation is 100 percent. How can you be paying more ? Doesn't make sense 😢
Thank you. I'm subscribing. This is how tourist/expat videos should be done. You show the location, discuss prices in real time and explain what is happening on the ground. Perfectly informative. Please make more videos.
Ne güzel bir çiftsiniz maşallah sizlere Türkiye'de çok güzel tanıtıyor anlatıyorsunuz sevgiler❤❤
Turkey used to be a paradise if you earned dollar or euro. Now, even though it’s still cheaper at local restaurants and hotels, touristic areas are ridiculously expensive. The prices on your last video were insanely high. Long of the short, stay away from touristic areas, don’t eat meat or seafood, stick with chicken and salad.
Mmmm 😋 chicken 🍗
Thank you for your beautiful and informative videos… ❤🇹🇷🙋🏻♂️
Please do more of these videos. Very informative
I love your videos, keep em coming
Dear Mick and Trudie, Thank you for your support and solidarity with Türkiye and its people. Enjoy your summer!
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.
Bir Türk vatandaşı olarak uzun zamandir her konuda zor günler yasadik maalesefki yasamaya da kaldigimiz yerden devam edecegiz, ne kadar dayanabilecegiz onu da bilemiyoruz...
Bu egitimsiz cahil %50 lik kesim oldugu surece, isimiz cok zor. Turkiyede Kurt degil, Anadoludaki cahil cuhela Turk sorunu var.
Bahsettiğiniz bu zorluklar dünyanın her yerinde aynı veya daha fazla.En azından Türk hükümetinin işini engellemeye çalışan tüm taraflara rağmen bu zorlukları mümkün olduğunca halk için hafifletmeye çalışan bir ulusal hükümetiniz var. .

Thank you Mick and Trudie.
I really enjoyed your updating of Turkey. 😊
We love you amca 🥰
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 😊
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.
Thank you for the awesome information great video as usual❤
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 .
You guys are a breath of fresh air, love your videos 🙂
Thank you.
Fabulous. You two always do such a great job. Thank you.
Thank you Mick amca❤
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!😂👍👏👏👏❤️
Severek takipteyiz Mick Amca
Funny listening to you saying dinner items are "only" such and such price. Those prices are horrible even compared to a year ago. $10 for a burger... in Turkey???
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.
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
Another good video guys. We have just left Turkiye after 2 years to continue our Campervan adventures. During our time in Turkiye, we have seen prices skyrocket. Sadly, many expats and tourists we have met, are selling-up and will not return on holiday, quote...'there are plenty of cheaper places with sunshine'. Many citing that alcohol is on a par or even more than the UK in places. It's so sad what has happened to the economy and the Turkish people having less and less to live on. We hope Erdogan changes tack to curb inflation and bring the economy under control, and make Turkiye an attractive tourist destination again, and de-tax alcohol, as tourists like to drink and relax on holiday...Finally...a man is given 20 years to fix a country, he clearly has failed, and then he gets re-elected!!...Unbelievable! Only just over 50% of the Turkish people supported him, and I honestly do not understand why...Thank you for the great videos. 😊
There are differences between people who move to Turkey to live (they are mostly educated and well behaved) and those who use Turkey as bridge to go Europe (mostly illiterate and unskilled) . Anyway thank you for representing Turkey. Your videos are amazing and I watch them happily
Love your channel name 😂🤠
@@mickandtrudie thank you
@@mickandtrudie I am stunned that you allow this kind of anti-refugees speech in your channel!
People with fake names and not even a picture in their profiles making false claims about people who flee war zones and conflicts to build a better life.
This speech reminds me about the same speech and propaganda the Americans used agains Italian and Irish immigrants to the US in the begging of the 20 century.
Hate and ignorance are everywhere and I am disappointed that you tolerate such a speech.
Hi guys!
Thank you for the great videos. You guys are so sweet and you sound like great people. I am Turkish and live somewhere not near Fethiye unfortunately😊
I love Fethiye so much and visit every year. Obviously I don’t have a property down there and I always stay at my sister’s rental village house at Yaniklar, which she barely affords each year
For most of the Turkish people it’s almost impossible to own a house in Fethiye.
Anyway I love your videos and enjoy watching them time to time and they give me so much fun and it feels like I go those places thru your lovely vldeos❤
Though it’s so sad we have little or limited opportunities to have a decent life anywhere near sea in our own country. I don’t think it will be possible from now on either considering this horrible inflation rates.
Again, I really adore your videos and can’t wait to see another upcoming one!
I like to tell you why? as an economist graduated from UCSD San Diego ,what happened during the pandemic was the 90% of the western world closed for business including faming and essential production of Goods, Turkiye never closed their factories or farms, work went on
and western demands for Farm Goods and essentials increased ,as the Foreign currency exchange was favoring west as west could just print or pay electronically Dollar or Euro , just keep spending ,importing buying everything they could from Turkiye. that increase of demand from west ,not only gobbled up Turkish products, but increased the local prices as farmers choose foreign buyers over Domestic buyers, Turkiye had to increase the inflation to make the products more expensive for the west,
now after saying all that, how do you deal with low purchasing power of Turks due to inflation ? Erdogan increased base pay across the board 65%, included retirees pay and minimum wage, economic indicators says inflation is 75 to 80% now take away 65% pay raise that puts it 15 to 20% inflation in par with most of the countries ,
I do not know if this makes sense but the number is what it is.
there were no bread lines even some tried by opposition to make Erdogan look bad, Most of the major cities opened their own Bakery stands to sell the bread cheap as you yourself know, going to Pazar in Turkiye you can pretty much buy lots of food for very reasonable prices,
and I like to also point out to you that, 72% OF THE TURKS, THEY OWN The house they live in. there were no mortgages in the country 15 years ago. that gives them extra cash to spend .
Despite the western attack on Turkish economy and money by the western countries to unseat Erdogan through weak economy, Turks managed thanks to Turkish citizens dollar deposits in Turkish bank over $275 billion, you know people buys dollar with lira and you can o0pen a dollar account in Turkish banks
and some Gulf rich friends like Saudis, Kuwait, Oman, UAE and particularly Azerbaijan deposits lat 5 years is around 165 billion in Turkish banks, not counting under the mattress gold,,dollars and Euros Turkish workers brings from abroad, SO, government simply barrows against it instead of going to IMF ,or World Bank which l have read many times that ,IMF and World bank and FED Reserve USA are NOT very happy about according the rules in Errors and Omission =Balance sheet . but they could not do anything, but to starve Turkiye from newly injected cash all they could do and they did. but money fo0r Turkiye is plenty out there, China 2 years ago bought the tallest high-rise in Istanbul Levent for $635 million (Istanbul Park building ) and opened the major bank with $6 billion in deposits for the Turks to enjoy. remember Turkiye might sound like energy poor country but Azerbaijan is Turkiye . so is northern Iraq, free oil does flow if it needed to
@@007supertime hi. I read your comment very carefully. First of all I respect all explanations about pandemic period that we worked without fear. Because we had to. I lost my mom and my dad have converted to freaking, reckless and useless during the pandemic but you know the life still is going on.
Turkiye didn't increase the inflation to make the products more expensive for the west. They just couldn't stop this madness. Bulgarians came to buy some stuff to the west region of Turkiye, Georgians come to east, Arabians and other nationalities bought estate, Germans bought summer house in the coastal areas. German' investments was very high that inspire the same idea to vote him again. All of this created a lack of supply once the demand is high.
economic indicators says inflation is 75 to 80%? so we see the actual rates in the markets.🤦♂
Erdogan tried & declared exchange their dollars many times to Turkish citizens. But it was only another part of show. Long story.... Your last paragraph also sounds dreamy. I can't buy a simple flat, I can't buy a car, I can't buy phone. I can't go to vacation. So who cares their investments. They are coming to take my last underpants
@@hasanozeroglu3081 what makes you think in other parts of the world we are having it easy?!
After 25 years in London im struggling to make ends meet.
I consider my self lucky that im renting and not on mortgage at this time as i would have lost my property with the current intres rate.
Prices have doubled on every single item but they still lie to us by telling that inflation is just 9%.
Thank you for saying Turkiye instead Turkey ❤
And Ingerlond!
Thanks for the valuable information ,, live long and prosper
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.
Bende Argentine gitmek istiyorum Bu gidisle turkiyede gecim hayel
