French inflation drops but workers still feeling the pinch [Video]

Inflation is starting to fall in France, but many people may feel their monthly expenses haven’t got any lower. Food and energy prices are still rising, which might influence millions of French people in the upcoming elections.

“I feel financially insecure. Will I have enough money?” said Nelson, a local Parisian. “We manage to pay for what we need, but the future is uncertain. I’m raising a little girl alone. Will I be able to pay for her education? If she wants to become a vet, which is very expensive, will I be able to afford it?”

There was a similar sentiment among other Paris laborers out doing their shopping. Some said they used to do a weekly or monthly shop, but now they were living day-by-day, buying what they need when they could.
