While not recognising how the economic divide is made worse for everyone not able to benefit. Power prices going up, fuel prices going up - as so many go to solar and drive electric cars, and do away with such bills: the rest of us are paying the difference. #PovertyIsExpensive #RaiseTheRate #auspol
"You live in #poverty. How can you not do #couponing?"
Years ago, stores stopped accepting home printed coupons, and newspapers aren't readily available (not that they have coupons). It's all in apps, that you cannot use if you cannot afford a #dataPlan. #PovertyIsExpensive

Yesterday I used this method to wring out a couple items after hand washing to save money. Drier is larger than the washer so I threw them in with the load but then I had to run the drier twice for some reason. $3 extra, plus the time to hand wash those items. #povertyisexpensive
My partner, Frank, was raised in poverty. This marks a child for life. He bought cheap shoes before we met, no matter how his circumstances improved.
I used the Pratchett lesson to help convince him to buy good shoes.
He saved money & his feet stopped hurting.

Poverty post. Family caregiver thinking about getting a job. STRESS 1. I won't be able to dedicate enough time to the job 2. I won't be available to help fam when they need it.
3 months rent on my credit cards. Invest in work laptop or in supports for fam? #povertyisexpensive #poverty #the98percent
Poverty post. Got a new to me ph but battery doesn't last as long. Trying to get paid to deliver by bike and phone jumped from 8% to 0 in a hurry... Now I have a contract violation because I was late. Stressful.
