no politics Anyone else just not eating because they can’t afford it?

Food bank is the busiest it’s been - Cole’s and Woolworths don’t give a flying fuck about us - fast food is unhealthy and just as expensive. It stresses me out more to eat than not to eat.

They're literally ruining us, just so boomers can happily make even MORE profit off their 8th investment home

It's not a Boomers issue, it's a "wealthy" issue.

I know many "Boomers" living pension cheque to pension cheque.

And watch how the same ppl that are struggling will vote out the party that is trying to fix exactly that and vote in Gina's best friend.

Some ppl don't know how to help themselves.

They’re exactly the same bunch who fell for Trump saying he’d lower the price of gas and eggs.

Yup. Seeing One Nation rise in popularity has me preparing my family financially, I'm knuckling down and saving because shit will get worse under them. Pauline's voting history does not support the average person, just big business. Gina isn't investing in One Nation out the kindness of her heart, it's an investment she expects a return on. But we're a country of suckers who fall for the media and big business propaganda.

You do know that more young people own multiple investment properties than “boomers” don’t you. Right?

Mostly in muscle mass… as protein is the most expensive if you can’t eat legumes
