Good Morning!

[TAB]

My diet is going to get pretty basic @Former-Member lol re $

[Former-Member]

I know @TAB its getting ridiculous.  I try and stretch my budget but notice the inherent financial squeeze with inflation.  I did read its going to get worse according to economists.  I belong to budgetting groups and there are great tips.  But its the economy not much you can do other than live as frugally as possible! lol

Pension prob going up $50 after budget due to CPI as rate way higher than usual @Former-Member

Hi, doing ok today thanks. Had the footy which was a good distraction.

How was your day?

[Former-Member]

I did read it was going up but did not know if it was just pensions or including disability pensions.  It would be great if it went up by $50 but I was thinking they would be more conservative than that.  Anyway we shall see @TAB 

[Former-Member]

Sorry I did not get back to you yesterday @StuF had switched off my computer. I hope you are faring well given your situation. Have been thinking of you. I have been surrounded by bereavement all my life mostly.

Happy Sunday folks! 🌞

It goes up by CPI ie inflation so guessing wont be 2% more like 6 @Former-Member

OK @TAB could do with the extra cash.  With the price of lettuce am eating lots of smashed avo as a substitute lol! Did come across some money saving hacks from the senior economist in The Age today.  Websites like: car next door, glam corner and the volte.  Great ways on making passive income on assets you have or saving money just by renting stuff instead of buying!
