Tim Tams have gone up.

That's not lifestyle creep.

You still deserve your Tim Tams, but they're taking the absolute mickey.

Yeah, I like buy it once, buy it right.

You're clearly quite self-aware.

Like you're asking this question and you're probably feeling bad about it because money is hard at the moment, but economically wage growth is not keeping up with inflation.

Like at the end of the day, stuff is getting more expensive and we're not getting paid more.

Like that is the crux of the whole story.

And that is really trashy.

Like that doesn't feel good.

And you know what?

You haven't come this far and, you know, gotten to this part in life.

You know, chips is a great example.

You're like, hold on, hold on.

Where's the line?

Because you have a good job, you put in the same time, energy and effort and you're trying really hard and all of that other stuff.

But you're like, but stuff is just so expensive.

So I now feel like I'm not even living the same life as I was before, but I'm maybe even putting in more effort now or saving better or investing better, but I still can't afford chibis.

Like what the hell is going on?

So I think, yes, lifestyle creep is something to be in like,
