How much money have you spent today?

[Mercedes01]

When I smoked a few months ago mine were $25 for a pack of 25 cigarettes.

Bloodly hell and I thought I was been ripped off! Now they put less in and charge more. We can't even see if they are in stock.

I wondered are they going to make me pay to smoke fresh air? Where are they going to find the revenue lost in ciggy taxes.

 

[Mercedes01]

Some other brands here are more expensive than what I was paying.

The Government will will probably start taxing the homeless for sitting
on cold cement.

 

[WhoFlungpoo]

Ha they already tried to tax people here for having a spare room.

They do that here now for people who live in Government Housing.

The waiting list is so long for Government Housing they asked people who
had a few rooms free because their kids had grown and left the nest to take
an offer of smaller accomodation so they can house full families.

Those that refused have to pay extra for each free bedroom.

 

[WhoFlungpoo]

It was that here. But it's the governments fault anyhow for selling of all their accomodation.

They didn't use the funds to build more properties. So now housing associations make a load of the government or should I say tax payers.

 

[Mercedes01]

Our Government are always building lovely housing projects.

Some are so bloody lovely.

Holy crap Merc !!!!! Our dollar is nearly worth the same ... I can't believe that.

Only way I can gauge, minimum wadge here where I live is $10 an hour. What is minimum wage there?
A house where I live, and average house is about 375,000 400,000 what about there?

A waitress for example can start at $17 upwards plus time and a half
on a Saturday & double time that an hour on a Sunday as well as Public
holdays.

Our kids here earn $10 an hour after school hours at McDonalds.

As far as housing goes it depends on the Suburb.

Where I live being Sydney it's the most expensive joint in Australia.

Watching a criminal drive his car into the Hudson River, run, get caught and arrested by cops, tow trucks pull drowned car out of the river? All in front of my very own eyes.....
