    I dunno how it is in the rest of the world, but in my country a lot of people are getting in trouble financially.

    Groceries are waay more expensive, gas and electricity is like 3 to 4 times more expensive for some. People that already had trouble with their financials are f----- this winter. Very sad to see.

    Personally, s--- is getting more expensive for me too but I can manage so far.

    Curious how it is in the rest of the world.

    Just remortgaged so will be ok for the winter. Even getting a new bathroom and kitchen with it, is wiping out most of the money I’m getting from the bank. Crazy how everything is just so expensive now, not a sustainable way of living

    I've been managing, but I'm not as comfortable as I used to be. I'm glad gas in Texas went down from around $5/Gallon to $3/gallon.

    Barely making it, tbh if I didn’t have a credit card I wouldn’t make it. Luckily it’s only helped my credit score but still

    Yeah but I work a full time job. I have noticed that everything has gone up 2-3 times in the past few months. Rent is nearly 3K a month, and grocery bills have Doubled. I don’t go out to eat as often

    Living cost got so high here that financial issues occur frequently. Thankfully due to BIGFOOTS condition and large feet, he needs a larger heart to beat the blood through them. (Another side effect of large feet is a huge c--- which I'm sure is a massive inconvenience.) Anyways he bought artwork off me and I used the $ to pay for my sons medication. Thanks @BIGFOOT

    I’m not going to lie, but you’re dead right…. Having a horse c--- isn’t as appealing as it might seem! The cost to keep it’s veins pumping has increased tenfold since Covid.

    If only I could give 6 inches away. Life would be so much easier.

    We are still able to pay the bills but have to cut our expenses sufficiently. In winter its going to be even more difficult so i think i am going to wrote klarna here and ask for some financial help. At the moment i am not even talking about the credit but maybe for some advices which can make our life a little easier.

    It's actually easier to pay bills lately... there are more options to hook up automatic pay apps to my huge bank accounts. I haven't thought about bills in years tbh.


    You guys haven't seen automatic pay?

    Sounds like I'm the luckiest person in the world right now. My rent and utility bills are part of my employment package so for me the only major concern is the increase in cost of food. I'm trying to combat that by focusing on my diet and eating better. Doesn't mean I won't do my bit in being careful with energy usage - we will limit it where we can. Hard with 2 young children though.

    I mostly cycle to work so travel is less of an issue as well. I get the tube maybe twice a week but so far prices haven't gone up for that.

    Most working class people where I live can't pay their bills on a 40 hour a week job alone.

    Most of them a 2nd source of income. Either a 2nd job. Or their parents help them out. Or they sell drugs. Or they have onlyfans.
