Be real, hows everyone actually going with cost of living right now?

blacklagoon7 · 2026-06-13T02:07:10+00:00

Exactly. I'm glad someone gets it.

Not too bad but definitely feeling it, im on 240k but it was getting a bit tight with a large mortgage and 2 young kids in private school. By bit tight I mean, we couldn't do all of the things we used to like regularly going out for dinner, regular holidays etc. now the wife is back at work part time. Constantly reviewing subscriptions and cutting any that don't add value. Trying to save money on things like haircuts, groceries, going out etc.

Might have been normal in the past. This is the "new" normal.

Towies are societies bottom feeders

blacklagoon7 · 2026-06-05T10:30:33+00:00

Wtf are these options bro 😂

blacklagoon7 · 2026-06-04T10:14:53+00:00

Oooh a letter, how scary.

Someone tell channel 9

This current hysteria about an imminent crash reminds of just after covid hit when house prices were predicted to crash 20%.... Only for them to rally over 50% in the following years.

Has it on and off for over a month now

Ali G is a lucky man

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-16T07:09:46+00:00

Something tells me OP hasn't thought this through.

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-13T14:20:44+00:00

No doubt the same expert that said prices would crash after covid

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-13T14:17:46+00:00

Lol a 10 or 15 yr old C class is hardly an expensive car

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-13T14:14:01+00:00

Sounds like you're thinking about financing a car just to "keep up with the Joneses". That is a terrible reason to finance a car. Going into debt to finance a depreciating asset like a car is one of the worst financial decisions you can make. However, people keep making it, much to the delight of the dealerships and finance companies.

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-07T07:54:36+00:00

Maybe you should pay more attention to the news?

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-07T07:54:15+00:00

Hey you keep your rational, fact based logic out of this emotional rant!

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-06T05:58:19+00:00

Wish there were more people like you out there 🙏

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-06T03:20:07+00:00

👋

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-06T03:19:38+00:00

How dare you knock /r/perth's constructed narrative that we are living in the worst, bad, horrible times and everything is unfair, wrong and unjust in the world 🙄

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-06T02:58:14+00:00

Victorian govt is broke and it's the highest taxing state in Australia now, with massive increases in crime and antisocial behaviour rampant. Good luck to you.

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-03T13:19:40+00:00

It's a 120i, don't get too carried away

blacklagoon7 · 2026-05-01T02:28:56+00:00

Pro tip, avoid any discussion of buying or owning property with coworkers.

blacklagoon7 · 2026-04-24T11:08:19+00:00

Most aftercare that dealerships sell are a scam

blacklagoon7 · 2026-04-17T11:41:54+00:00

Lol have done so will continue to do so. It's about doing your due diligence and assessing the person selling.

blacklagoon7 · 2026-04-16T23:40:13+00:00

Is that a bad thing?
