Australian families finding increased cost of living 'incredibly hard'

Australian Birth Stories host Sophie Walker says the increased living costs in Australia are making it “incredibly hard” and “very stressful”.

“I’ve recently polled my audience at Australian Birth Stories and asked the families how they are feeling about the added costs, and over 90 per cent of them agreed that they are really making modifications this year,” Ms Walker told Sky News Australia.

“It’s definitely having a knock-on effect, and we’re definitely feeling it.”

Don't worry, lots of new train tunnels to look at.

Just slowly drain their pockets they will get use to it generation after generation

Lots of hardship coming and no help from the government. Charities can barely cope with the homeless and poor now, health centres with mentally sick and broken people. Australians should decentralize and start noticing other people and helping each other. That's the only way to stay strong as a society.

Australia finished and beyond help.
RIP Australia ⚰️✝️🙏🏾🕊️

Australia has its own Let’s Go Brandon. Let’s Go Albo.

This has been going on in the U.S.A. for quite some time, and they just keep raising interest rates and prices, but wages go down. It seems some secret society must be behind the global economy.

All the expensive holidays resorts booked out, don't think people are doing it too tough.

Home insurance will start dropping off

Don't pay the Jesus Birthday Tax!!!

While everyone keeps buying to keep up with their neighbours, I don't feel sorry for them. No concept of "can't have it now" - it's "I must have that to be seen as successful". Pile on the debt, doesn't matter, when it all crashes down they can blame the Government.

It's okay, we have to sacrifice a bit harder for longer for Zelensky as he is going through hard desperate situations, please Australians don't eat, don't have a shower & pay your expensive bills till Zelensky buys his 3rd villa in Denmark, it's okay you can do it
