You can't escape it.. its in the business column of every newspaper, magazine or online news site.... its on every 'current affair' program, every breakfast program (minus the cartoon ones), its even in educational-bore-kids-news programs ttn (ten) and btn(abc).. its in every single freaking news program, morning, 11am, noon, 5pm, 6pm and the late night...
Money.. interest rates.. inflation.. recession..bank profits..rising/lowering house prices..tarifs..taxes..government spending.. federal spending..council rip-offs..fraud..scammers..credit woes.. credit card debt..
increase...increase...increase...
gosh its exhausting!!!!!!
Example.. sure go to any woolworths or coles in the area (if theres more than 1) and their prices will be different.. a 250g of 'unsalted butter' was $1.49 (woolworths brand) 250g of 'butter' was $0.99 (woolworths brand) a few weeks later i noticed they are both now $1.49.
Theres currently a inquiry into grocery prices, their lies, truths, profits, margins and all.. hopefully they can get to the bottom of it all!!
apparently 44% of people have private health care cover from a story i read today... one provider is slashing what you get for your $ and charging more, changing their 'packages'.. ugh!
Washing our dirty laundry at the laundrymat now costs $4.00 instead of $3.20.. saying its the first price hike in 3yrs due to rising costs of electricity, water and gas (the gas i thought was strange, i guess the water is heated via gas) like i keep saying.. it makes me want to get out of here and get a place big enough for a washing machine and a place with a clothes line!!! *not that theres any good rental choices lately* Don't remind me that come late april our rent (for a tiny 2bedroom, kitchen/lounge in one, bath/shower toilet in one) is going from $130 to $150 a week.. altho i'd pay extra if it came with decent neighbours! and yet we have no yard/garden no space for washing machine of *any* loader on any wall, floor.. except perhaps the ceiling.. (could imagine how cool it would be to have a front loader bolted to your ceiling?.. they'd have to work out the door to be half the size tho) anyways its a crap hole and clearly going up from like a price hike by the rental agency or via the news hype of theres no rentals left.. go on landlords charge what you look for your shit hole houses/apartments that you care so little about!
banks... where do u start.. the RBA saying rate hikes are good, i know its hurting people but tough! RBA saying yeah banks make insane profits but hey look at american banks arent u happy we have banks that do make money?! *rolls eyes*
