So when I first moved into my house 7 years ago all of my bills togeather totalled £1000, my rent had not increased once but my bills are now £1890 each month. It's the same with shopping we ust to spend £50 a week and now we spend £90 a week!! When will this sillyness end? At this rate won't be able to aford my bills.

@DaintyD I am not looking forward to that when I move. Even though where I am moving to it is kind of cheap.

"Why is everything becoming so expensive?" could it be because of dwindling resources and higher demand due to population increase? Oh just my thoughts. Yeah inflation is overtaking our income

It really is - so many people are going to end up homeless, as if that's not already a big problem.

@louievill It's casing crime, illhealth and homelessness. It's a catch 22 people are becoming shressed about finances so being sick end off work. Others are too ill to be working but continue to go in ( because they can't aford not too ) and are passing their illnesses to other people. It's all one lethal circle.

This is sad because you know our salaries dont go up exponentially like our bills or groceries or anything else. Sigh.

@maezee I know it's shocking, most jobs pay national minimum wage these days and employers rarely give payrises. So were cost are going up and up wages are not changing.

I just dream to have a huge wage a month. It is tough to budget.

@iamshane487 Don't even wish for a big wage - I just want to be financially comftable. With a £47k salary in my house both in management roles we shouldn't be living month to month

I find that the food has increased an awful lot this past year. I don't know how some people can do it with a young family.

Everything is becoming expensive because the cost of labor also increases together with the expenses the company incurred in making the product or in delivering the services.

@rina110383 Witch would be fair enough of those doing the labour received more money for it - but they don't.
