‘This is really scary’: Australians ‘suffering’ from rising cost-of-living

[@gottrekk5798]

Meantime millionaires are becoming multi millionaires , multi millionaires are becoming billionaires. Politicians, judges, lawyers, developers, corporations are property investors, they are making record high profit. They love the housing crisis they created by themself.

[@johnkauppi7078]

I woke up depressed this morning. I'm a simple man. I live very frugally. Yet every dollar I make this quarter is already spent, theoretically, on bills. There is nothing left. And I'm still behind in council rates. I've never been this poor. Yet made as much money. I was thinking I might have to sell something. And I'm one of the luckier ones, others are way worse off. Homeless. Something not right with this country.

Don't watch Sky News and you will not be depressed.

[@greatape7258]

Same here.i have no more frugal tricks up my sleeve.

[@myday2704]

It completely sucks. Downsize if you have that option otherwise the only solution here is to increase income.

I’m on a disability pension I bought a house last year with cash … difference is about 7 years ago I started investing stocks /crypto etc … 10 years before that I sat in a public library with nothing reading that financial section that no one reads … I saw all of this coming a long time ago .. I was prepared .. of course all the people I have attempted to help don’t actually change or restructure .. I have given up teaching people I know the answers .. I know why you are all in this position however none of you will ever listen

Thank you: Turbans 4 Australia. You are doing a great job.

@@lyndaruff1836 Like Canada, it's kinda your own doing, isn't it? Importing the Third World then complaining your country is circling down the crapper. Question is, who's gonna be left to import YOU?

[@ralphmogridge8364]

No way LNP would have given all Australian low-middle income earners wage rises, tax cuts, pensioners, disability and unemployed increases in their support payments. Low to middle income would have been sacrificed for their billionaire and mining sponsors!!

[@jujumaccas]

Those payments are CPI adjusted twice yearly bozo.

[@lloydsingline340]

I disagree.Without mining Australia would have greatly reduced export income. Manufacturing has all but disappeared as a factor in said exports.

[@CatsandJP]

Yet the Band of Turbans…don’t mind building Mindar……or sikhs who built Gurwaras…..to gather in their hundreds to worship in……which is mostly paid for donations by their own followers…..and they want handouts from ordinary people..show me an Indian who doesn’t wear gold jewellery….earrings,,nose studs…etc….because they value gold more than anything…it is an integral part of their religious ceremonies and is prominent across all their major religions.

[@JohnsonCranium]

The reason they have gold and money is because they’re not like Australians. They don’t generally piss their wages up the wall, jammit into poker machines, constantly eat expensive take away due to laziness. Their lifestyle is the reason they have money. 😊 Most Aussies are stupid, fat, lazy and waste their money on utter crap 😊

[@cassandraknight8804]

Every culture has these types of things, many cultures wear expensive brand names. Your point is mute

Get rid of negative gearing , only allowed to own one house, ,for everyone, quite simple, why should the renter's pay for someone's mortgage, need a revolution world wide

[@Didigetitwrong]

Just imagine for one minute the cost of living if Iran is drawn into a war with Israel and the US.

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

This is completely non sequitur !

[@Didigetitwrong]

@@j.bradleyheck1589 The cost of living is rising, the reason for this is in the opinion of a lot of people I follow is that there are currently 2 wars that are being funded by America who is broke with a 35 trillion dollar debt. We Australia are financially tied to America, now the military experts most of who I watch have served in the White house say Iran has the ability to greatly damage and disrupt oil production in the middle east if it has to. This cannot be stopped, thus the price of fuel and therefore all other commodities would rise. Proffessor Richard Wolfe is a good narrator on this subject, I would paste a link but it would be removed.
