Hey friends,
The rising cost of living is definitely a stressful topic, and it's impacting all of us in different ways. This is an on-going conversation to share your feelings and experiences – vent, celebrate small wins, or ask for advice.
Let's Start with Feelings:
Feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone. Rising shopping prices, bills, and rent can feel like a constant weight. How are you doing?
Worried about the future? It's natural to be anxious. Share your concerns and see if anyone else relates.
Frustrated or angry? Completely valid too! This situation is tough, and this is a safe space to express those emotions.
Remember: There are no wrong answers here! I'll be back next week to continue the conversation but you are not alone with this and everyone is here to listen 💡

@ella Im glad you posted an article/thread about this because it is actually quite relevant to lot of young people right now and ones who are currently looking for housing and realising that mortage costs are so so high than they have even been. Also, employment is a massive thing as well because I personally feel like the goverment think we young people are just 'lazy' when in fact we are not and there are actually not enough jobs for young people. They want us to get jobs but dont even supply the right support for it. Also, one of my worries about the cost of living is being finacially stable in the future because I want to start working as soon as I can to try and start my pension early so then in the future I have enough money so I can look after myself and my family. I hate the thought of being finacially unstable and it scares me sometimes. I just wish the government would start doing more things which will properly benefit young people today.
