How are you coping with inflation and cost-of-living increases?

Curious to hear how the current situation in Australia has impacted your daily habits, if at all.

I'm definitely ordering takeout and dining out less - not because I can't afford it, but because it just doesn't feel like good value any more.

Yeah nah it's shit. Gone from renting a house to living out of my car due to a redundancy and difficulty finding a decent job. Lost most of my belongings because I've nowhere to keep them T_T

Decent nutritional food is too expensive and proper personal care (medication and hygiene) is too difficult to secure

Oof, sorry to hear that mate, that's rough. If you feel like you're struggling, I've had good experiences with mindspot.org in the past... it's a free mental health service for all aussies. It won't help you with finances obviously but might help you feel a little better about the future.
