Agreed but price gouging is at ridiculous levels. To increase prices by 40-50% on items that are not effected by rising costs is outrageous

Example.

Fantelle 24pk water was $11, in one jump it was moved to $16. There is no way that increase can be justified

Yep, my pasito sugar free cans went from $6.50 to $11 per 10 pack in one foul swoop.

That's just not true. My first 3 bedroom house in Royal Park, timber frame, small block, cost me $77,000 in 1996, I sold it for $200,000 in 2000. We had a $7000 deposit. Today it would got for $450-500k.

Tell me where you buy a 3 bedroom house in suburbia for $77,000? You don't.


Of course you can’t.
But wage growth comes into play as well.

I assume you don’t still earn $50k a year like in 96?

Low income earners will always be hardest hit by inflation and interest rate rises.

That’s why most young people are building at Gawler and Virginia these days.

You ain’t buying a house at Royal Park on $60k a year these days but you can still build/buy if you’re prepared to move further out.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

If people are under stress now then you borrowed far beyond your means.


That's a simplistic view. If anyone is buying their first house without any collateral and only a deposit, you are going to be mortgage stressed due to the cost of housing right now regardless of the interest rate, so any increase would increase the stress.


Maybe some of these poor darlings can reduce their uber eats to once a week or drink normal beer and not fancy gin or heaven forbid buy 2nd hand goods where they can.
Young people these days want what their parents have straight away and have and want the best of the best.

Obviously not all young people are like this but the majority I work/network with are.


Makes me laugh, the assumption that all these "poor darlings" Uber Eats every night, have 90" LCD 4K ultra on the wall etc....my sons friends, many of them couples on average ( $50-60k - the real "average wage" ) wages scrape by week to week.

Why? Because they want to live somewhere other than Bumf*ck Long Plains or in a shoe box and be able to see friends, have them over.

And we all obviously bought our first home and proceeded to stay at home every night, not get a pizza once a week and picked up empty cans on the road side to pay our fuel bills. How dare they live!

Thats pretty harsh if you have never been there. Some of the very best facilities in the state are there.

I forgot there's actually a place called Long Plains! :lol:

It wasn't meant to be disparaging to the good folk of Long Plains, it was more emphasising not everyone wishes to live North of Bolivar.

I'm sorry.

If you could learn the difference between "Cows" and "Crows", "Norf" and "North" and "$turd" and "Sturt", that would be great.
Oh, and don't forget to use a capital letter when you're starting a new sentence.

get stuffed ;)

nothing wrong with living out here. people may just need to adjust their expectations.

when we first bought, my wife wanted something out in the eastern suburbs, campbelltown area. regardless of my laughter, she insisted we look.

eventually she adjusted her expectations and we ended up out at para hills. bought for 270k, sold for 350k 14 years later in 2018, so not everywhere has had dramatic price increases. only reason we moved was the growing family, id happily still live there.

now we are out at Burton (just a little north of bolivar ;) ) and once again, perfectly happy. our house in a suburb closer to adelaide would be massively more expensive. and for the record, i still dont have a HD tv, and i do stay home most nights, and we try to avoid take out, yet im still pretty happy with my lot. it isnt as bad as some people make it out to be
