And you had a lot of money left over.
voice-verified
That gave you a lot of change.
voice-verified
But because we've had inflation and the rising cost of living, we're now left with nothing when you're earning this type of money.
voice-verified
So it happens very easily.
voice-verified
And this is why it's so important to have that awareness so that you don't ever become a victim of this lifestyle creep.
voice-verified
I think now, yes, if you go back when we didn't have inflation as a serious problem and the rising cost of living, definitely it was more discretionary spending.
voice-verified
But now it's the essentials that are really dominating most family budgets and leaving us with nothing left over.
voice-verified
Absolutely.
voice-verified
I think we fool ourselves as well.
voice-verified
Just because you are financially comfortable doesn't mean you are financially successful.
voice-verified
And, you know, there is this whole keeping up with the Jones mentality as well that goes on in every single suburb around Australia.
voice-verified
Asset rich, cash poor.
voice-verified
So they think about, as you said, the big shiny toys and the glitz and glamour that comes with, say, thinking, well, I've earned good money.
voice-verified
I can afford this.
voice-verified
I deserve it.
voice-verified
I'm entitled to it.
voice-verified
I'm rewarding myself.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
So, yes, you can lose track of actually what the real cost of living actually looks like and what is actually affordable and what's actually wise and also not just what's affordable right now, what's going to be affordable in, say, three, four, five years' time where interest rates change again or you've got, say, another family member or another child that you've got to educate or another expense that comes your way.
voice-verified
So you need to be thinking about what's actually going to work for you now and is safe.
