Rent and house prices are about the same here for average houses, but our fuel lately has been under $2 and I paid $2 for Premium fuel for the bike the other day normally its a bit more, but of course fuel goes up and down all the time here and when holidays and school holidays the price for fuel is always on the high side.Ash,
If you think the" West island" is expensive,you should try living in New Zealand.
Low wages and even more costs here for food and gas and 15% GST (vat).
Rents over $600 a week for a mouldy farm house and average house price over $1,000,000petrol nearly $3 a litre at the moment.
$8 for a f' n lettuce in the supermarket.
Rant over.
I brew my own beer !
I only buy vege's that are in season and meat when on special, but I am growing a lot in my gardens now and I understand where you are coming from as I have a few Kiwi friends who moved here, we put sh*t on each other but we are all good mates and not bro's lol.
I stopped brewing my own beer a long time ago, I made a nice beer but I drank too much of it and became a fat greedy pig and put on too much weight from the extra sugar I was using lol.
Rant over, well I don't blame you at all and its not only happening here and NZ its happening all over the world, the rich get richer and us poor bastards suffer.
And I still can't get over why we got to pay world prices for our own recourses that we sell to the rest of the world, our leaders have sold us out for greed.
