Fighting Back Against Rising Living Costs in Australia

If it feels like your pay cheque doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, you’re not imagining things. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the cost of living for employee households has skyrocketed by 4.7% over the past year—far outpacing the 2.8% inflation rate. Mortgage interest rates and insurance premiums are the biggest culprits, hitting working Australians right where it hurts.

The Struggle is Real: These rising costs aren’t just financial—they’re emotional. They create stress, force tough decisions, and make goals like saving for a home or taking that dream holiday feel further out of reach. But here’s the truth: while you can’t control the economy, you can take control of your finances.
