Inflation in Australia is supposedly running about 7.3% but my shopping bill has increased by double that rate.
All the necessities, food, accommodation and energy have really been slugged and there doesn't look like much relief in sight. I'm fortunate because I have my own home but people in my area are paying $250 or more, just for a room. There's a lot of people doing it tough here at the moment and I don't think we've seen the worst of it yet.
I'm still hopeful of making the move to Thailand next year but as usual my timings probably not to good.
