Australia is even worse!

The cost of food has been through the roof for years, and keeps rising.

My wife and I both work full-time, however we need to consume lesser-quality items, always the running-out-of-date “specials”, pass on anything that is not needed for strict nutrition.

Given these prices, one doesn’t live to eat, you eat to live, basically.

We can’t afford to go out and have a good time, that is if we are serious about paying our mortgages, our bills, saving for the next manufactured crisis, saving for our old age, saving for the kids’ future, paying for speeding fines and other government extortion rackets, funding out of school activities for the kids...

If you are serious about using your resources efficiently, this is paying your bills and ensuring your family doesn’t fall a step back every year, then you stay home and eat whatever is on sale.

Haven’t had a holiday in over a decade.

Way back when, if you were a hard worker you would thrive. Nowadays it just gives you the privilege to try to keep your mouth above the shit while fighting not to drown in it.

All the above is notwithstanding you get sick. If you happen to have a medical problem, even if it’s caused by whatever is not food that was in your food, suicide is the only way to save your family from the consequences.
