Yep it sure is scarey, it is the same down under, everything has gone up , the petrol is about 2.00 a litre and then of course your food goes up,etc etc,you wonder how much longer it can go on, i really feel for those on benefits etc, it must be extremely difficult just to feed the family without anything else, we have a budget coming up in June, and the government is talking tax cuts, so that should be a little helpful for us,but does not help those on even lower incomes., I know what it is like to be on the lower end of things and we are still not on a high income, but i would hate to be where i was before right now.
