Oh fantastic, now I have to open another credit card just to buy mince. 🙄 This government is an absolute joke.

Mate, I've been working 60 hour weeks and still can't keep up. The supermarkets are taking the piss with their prices.

Just sell your house and buy a smaller one, simple. Or stop eating avocados. That's the real problem.

nah get stuffed, we're not all rich like you.

Mia Carter2026-07-22T18:58:22.000Z

I've started growing my own veges. Takes time but at least I know where my money's going.

But the economy is doing great according to the news. Just low wages and high prices, nothing to see here.

Morgan Lee2026-07-22T20:36:22.000Z

Facts. The media is so out of touch.

Rising grocery bills are a barrier to saving? No shit Sherlock. Tell me something I don't know.

NZ Herald2026-07-22T20:15:22.000Z

Maybe if you didn't buy coffee every day you'd have money. Smh.

NZ Herald2026-07-22T20:57:22.000Z

lol cope harder, maybe work more.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T20:36:22.000Z

I can't even afford coffee anymore mate. This country is cooked.

Mia Carter2026-07-22T20:57:22.000Z

The systems broken. We're all just running on debt and hope now.

RNZ2026-07-22T21:46:22.000Z

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T21:46:22.000Z

Preach. It's been cooked for years.
