Guys, I have launched a GOFUND ME! Anyone that would like to donate to Anne and Diane (the last 2 ladies) please click this link here- 100% of all funds will go to them: gofund.me/83897202 All donations will go to Anne and Diane to help them pay for essential food items such as meat and also medical bills. As little as $1 will go a long way :)
Will you be donating it back every year to Anne and dianne, it is a tax deduction that can be claimed back by the person who set up the account and im guessing that was you or management.
You should organise an event in your local community for your community, you have enough influence and the right way of talking to people instead of asking people who are most likely in the same boat as Anne and dianne for donations ask small business to donate there time and equipment in turn promoting small business which is being hit hard as well atm. That would get respect from a lot of people.
For someone who has been blessed by God to be in the position you are in, you have the opportunity to reach millions of people instead you use that platform to ask your followers to donate get of ya bum n raise the money yourself. Your like the government we donate an amount of our wages to tend the schools roads hospitals ect only to be charged again to use these services.
@@Covidwasalie I've lived in a government housing area for 10 years among pensioners and dole bludgers. People in government housing get heavily discounted rent, pay only a percentage of their income - so rent increases DO NOT AFFECT THEM like everyone else. And those who are in private rentals could share with a friend, but many CHOOSE not to. What does that tell you? Are they REALLY struggling if they could clean out their second unused bedroom to halve their rent, but don't? I'm on a pension too - and I lived among people who knew and took advantage of every trick in the book. Most, not just a few, had more free $$$ than working people do, yet like these two they still cry poor. You only need look at their weight to know they're not missing out on calories. But sure, they're "poor" but only after they go to McDonalds, KFC, buy Coke and chips and cigarettes and cakes and biscuits and grog, play the pokies, eat at the local bowling club, after they avoid home brand products "because I don't prefer them", only after everyone in the family has a mobile phone and plan, NBN, gets their ears and face pierced, tattoos, playstations, every new video game, pay TV subscriptions, etc. Mark my words, they almost certainly go to the Smith Family for their bills too. All you have to do is show you're on Centrelink and your bank account is low or empty and they will pay your bills (so most have a second bank account they keep at $1 balance). And don't believe people when they say they can't afford things like a freezer either. They CHOOSE not to "afford" it. Everywhere I've lived for the last 40 years has had charities, recycling centres, etc who give away or sell cheap donated fridges and freezers for $200 or less. There's also whitegoods on Facebook Marketplace most of the month. Centrelink also arranges no interest loans with small repayments to buy a new one. Similarly, they can also get an advanced Centrelink payment every 12 months with a repayment plan where Centrelink holds back a few $ per fortnight. And these are just off the top of my head in 30 seconds - there's probably more! There's also charities who cook free meals - often two will be an hour or two apart - so many of these bludgers will eat at BOTH. Then they'll say they only had lunch today, will have no dinner - yeah, because they've stuffed themselves at at least two different venues. There's other charities that ask supermarkets for food donations which they pass on cheap or free. The Smith Family also gives a couple of bags of canned goods per fortnight. And local community centres who will give each person a couple of kg of free meat like chicken drumsticks or wings, free fruit and veg from supermarkets (no, not because it's off - they just give a certain amount of charity every week), free loaves of bread from Baker's Delight etc which is picked up daily after closing time - and the list goes on and on. Such people know every con in the book but still cry poor when suckers like this guy appear, or when whining to Centrelink, the Smith Family, etc. Same goes for any homeless people in Australia who have NO bills so have SEVERAL TIMES MORE FREE CASH than working people - plus all the free and cheap stuff I've mentioned above. Sure, some people have unexpected events happen. I had to go to the Smith Family years ago when an unexpected bill wiped out my bank account for the fortnight ahead with the fridge empty - but the ones who cry poor every week while taking advantage of all these other things? NEVER give those ones ANYTHING, or at least have the sense to only buy them food AND not do it regularly.
@@Covidwasalie agreed! Happy to help too! A lot of people in the community will be happy to volunteer their own time to make things and sell it on a fair like event. All money raised can go to cases like this.
I have 2 youngs kods aswell what am i going to do hire a babysitter that will cost the same as my wage so i can miss my childrens childhood and fall behind in housework ect to possibly afford food and rent. Like how ridiculous.
I finished school in 1980 ,worked 3 jobs when i was younger ,retired 10 years ago, been living the endless summer for 30 years now ,own 2 properties across the road from the beach at palm beach gold coast , get your shit together people ,nobody owes you , just hard work ,toughen up.
I retired 10 years ago ,been living the endless summer for 3 decades busted my gut when i was younger, my biggest worry for decades has been where my next trip is going to be to and what tje surfs doin ,sorry to dissapoint you bit a good work ethic is all you need 😎🤙
Hard work... yes, AND very fortunate of you to be healthy, able bodied, and have no major family tragedies turning your life upside down. Not everyone has the opportunity to achieve their potential in life, no matter how hard they work. Some people were born so far behind the 8 ball (through no fault of their own) that their success looks like your starting line.
You were blessed to be born in an era where that shit was easy. It is no longer that era. It's hard to find one job, let alone three. You need a full resume of actual certifications and experiences today, not just your bare hands and an IQ above 80.@@shaunmaree6493
Dear Surgeon Lady, I worked so hard I broke my body. Another Surgeon Lady bungled a surgery that left me on disability and bed ridden for 6 yrs. I had to use all my super to pay for corrective surgeries. I have struggled to regain my health so I can get back to work, but recently found out for 47 yrs I have got through life with hip dysplasia and now need a hip replacement. Surgeon Lady, because I’m on disability and have no more money to pay surgeon type ppl and am in far too much pain to go back to work to pay for said surgery, I have to wait until I’m 65, living everyday with pain and limited physical ability. Surgeon Lady … go EAD!
Yeah she seriously needs to check her privilege. If you don't have the same support as everyone else working 7 days is not an option to keep a float at the very least
@@emilyperrett6648 the sheer ignorance of these “pillars of society” absolutely astounds me! I’m so glad Jamie was able to help some beautiful individuals through this report whilst highlighting how the entitled mock those who are ill, disabled ect … None of us choose to to be sick! The cost of living is out of control and medical intervention is only for those who can afford it as the public system and NDIS are extremely broken. I didn’t write my post for attention, I am angry, sad and disappointed that a Surgeon Lady who clearly has a lack of empathy and understanding of us plebs can scoff at our misfortune. Just a few hours in our shoes Surgeon Lady, you’d be crying bloody murder and it would wipe that smug look from your face!
Surgeon Lady gets paid many thousands of dollars per week, of course she's gonna work hard. For the rest of us working hard just means just paying the bills and rent/mortgage and nothing more.
Got goosebumps at the end there.. you have such a big kind generous heart. I try to help people with leftover food that i cook. If everyone done a little bit, the world would be a better place.
With all this poor woman endured with her cancer, (congratulations on your recovery) you have made her smile, you blessed heart, this is very heartwarming.
@@lachola1647 not sure what my aim is I just observe, I would just say that it does not particularly suit me and I know in Australia career and business orientated people perhaps can not see a problem with the way things are going, we live in a 2 speed economy and for those on high wages everything is more or less affordable.
To be fair its because of greed and disproportionate focus given to ambition rather than family duties that has contributed to inflation too. Lack of child bearing women with extra cash changes society. Society would be different if family life was honoured higher than earning money.
From working for Woolworths ive been left with a chronic pain disability, and I’ve had the blame put on me by them. They screw the Australian public as well as their workers. It is unjust & cruel.
They would still feel the pinch no matter how much they make . Also if she's studied 5+ years of med school etc then they deserve it . I don't get mad at people's success. She probably pays over 40% tax for units who just want to do drugs too
Worst thing that can happen is it’ll eventually start hurting even them. Sounds like they went from zero to hero and if economy gets so bad it affects them then how do ppl less fortunate than them survive
That's exactly what I thought!.. working 7 days a week, but out and about on a sunny day with manicured nails😜 I work 6 days a week and on my day off I'm rushing around grocery shopping, house cleaning etc! Give me a break blondie
She doesn't work a labour intensive job. She has a high pay rate. She's still young and doesn't look like she has disabilities or illnesses. She seems to have a wealthy partner as well. She was in a place she was able to be ahead of others. She can also hire help with her kids or has family that will help. Not everyone has that. Clearly she doesn't realise that getting to be able to do what she did takes the right elements. Not everyone can earn her income even if they break their backs trying.
Recently I bought a chicken and I started planting all the seeds from the food I bought from Coles. So far I have not needed to buy eggs, tomatoes and potatoes since. The produce is also much better especially comparing it to what I bought and what I grew from it. The tomatoes from Coles didn't have any juice inside but the ones I grew were juicy and delicious. I really recommend people do the same. If we all grow one thing then we can trade within our street and the community.
Loved this Jamie. Great interviewing skills you have. Never afraid to ask random strangers on the street. I hope Anne and Dianne all the best and good health ❤
Maybe if the Surgeon sold her LV hat, her 8kg engagement ring, the 48ct earrings weighing down her ear lobes, and her Supreme t-shirt, her Husband wouldn’t have to whinge about everyone doing it “tough”…..
That surgeon needs to stfu and get a reality check. Working harder and longer hours on minimum wage is galaxies away from working “harder” as a surgeon. You’d literally burn your self out to only make an extra $500-$1000 bucks max on minimum wage vs making $10,000s extra being a surgeon.
Her job also isn't labour intensive. I've worked in hospitals. Surgeons get spoiled. If they are good surgeons even more so. What she earns in a day or two is more than a full time minimum wage earner's income. Bodies wear out, minds burn out. She had the ability to work herself that hard. No everyone starts out the same as her. There is only so much people can do and achieve.
@@JasonISF people usually get paid fortnightly not yearly. So she could work two days and still earn more than they make in a fortnight working full time. Especially if she is a good surgeon.
I understand what the surgeon was saying, but the reality is the vast majority of people do not and can not operate like that. Working hours like it's the industrial revolution leads to multiple mental health issues when there is no time to socialise, be with family, exercise or do anything that you might actually enjoy (ie be human) other than work. She may have had the drive to work hard to get the career she desired, but for many less advantaged it is working literally just to pay off the bills and stay afloat.
That lady working all those hours would have house cleaner, laundry, gardener's, people washing their car etc etc, I work for people like that, they outsource everything that they can't do so they can concentrate on their profession or business
It must be so nice to be an intelligent white woman that has had an upbringing that instilled her with enough confidence to go out there and access opportunities that reward you both financially and mentally. Imagine having that level of privilege and feeling that entitled. What a dream.
Wow. Hard to take that first guy seriously in saying “If I had the answer I wouldn’t be here”…..As he stands beside his McLaren wearing his $500 Alexander Wang t-shirt 😳
just because one guy is able to and because he teaches someone else how to, doesn't enable them the same success or even success. It's a combination of a lot of things
No one has the answer, otherwise it wouldve been solved already. At least he wasnt a dick about it and tried to be humble in his success. Stop being so negative
That's if you can get one or a second. Humans aren't robots our bodies wear out. She's not in a labour intensive job. Can you imagine a 70 year old brick layer with a busted back and knees? She doesn't know she had a good start.
This is why investing is smart. Through property, eBay selling online books, there are multipacks of motivational courses that will assist you prosper your income, or even earn a living. The right mind set is important when it comes to inverting. Don’t be fooled, they won’t teach you this in university or college, but it’s the future, online market. Working hard is rewarding, but work less, earn more.
Brilliant journalism. My hours have been cut in half, i cook at a pub and no one can afford to eat out anymore, so i have been taking home $530 a week for the past month, and ny rent is $400 and it costs me $100 to do a grocery shop for like 18 items and i put $30 petrol in my car.
Well done on interviewing real people. These interviews are genuine unlike the majority of mainstream. You’re doing real journalism keep it up. The struggle is real. Single father with two kids. Been suffering mentally with the stress. I know it’s terrible to say but I feel a bit better knowing it’s not just me.
I understand how you feel as I’m in a similar situation and I just thought I’d stop and leave a comment to say keep on keeping on. It has to end somewhere. 👍🏻
Can we start a national petition for the government to woolies and coles to drop the prices or something because how are we meant to live. Between the rental crisis and now this, we are just going to be homeless and starving fighting for survival. We are meant to be the luckiest country in the world 😢😢😢😢
Has she? She worked hard getting where is now. Did you know how much studying she has done? Did you do that as well? Well, you didn't consider that as work, did you? Working hard to better herself. That's the difference between you & her, so don't get bitter.
@@thegriffin_8you’re a dick, mate! She probably had rich parents who paid for her study and her rent while she was at uni. And now she pays people to look after her children, do her cleaning and gardening etc. So what’s the difference between her working 15 hours as a doctor and someone else working 15 hours a day as a tradie? She’s still working harder is she? Even though she doesn’t have all the other responsibilities to deal with when she finishes.
@@stevenedwards7070 people are where they worked hard for (or didn't). Also a lot have jobs, not because they're suited for it, but because they needed the job to get by. Grass are greener for some jobs, but it's not right to belittle the surgeon, saying she has no idea, for she worked hard & she still is to better herself on that field. So there's no need for comparison, for they have chosen different paths or roles in life.
Just work hard.. says already immensely successful couple. A surgeon and a car yard owner.. uh huh. We work hard.. 6 days a week, 12 to 15 hours a day and barely can put food on the table. Cereal alone is about $50 a week.
Having lived in multiple areas around Mount druitt with both parents of disability pension was never easy and pre-covid (like most people) studied and worked hard to start make a decent living. I thought at the time, things are going up and i was really helping lift the stress off my family. Fast forward now, post covid, it now feels like 2017-18 due to living costs and medical costs. I hope with the recent government change, things can change. It wont be easy and short but hopefully started
Jamie, thank you for showing us and the internet, how it’s really like out here in the west. Not many have the courage to open the curtains and i salute you!
The ladies from Mount Druitt are the salt of the earth type ladies, just like you, young man. I can’t help but notice the lines on either side of Dianne’s mouth (lady in the wheelchair) dropping down…that’s from years of having a hopeless and painful look on your face. God bless them. All the best to people all over the world. I hope everybodies circumstance in life gets better
Good on ya lad! That was inspiring…. Unfortunately at my age, 43, I fear it’s already way to too late for substantial change in Australia now. The amount of tax we pay is insane, Government services are almost useless, We are all suffering for a small few to profit. Without this changing there will be no progress ever!!! I sincerely feel Australia is doomed
Look how much taxes on a bade model ferrari in Australia it $250000 . Usa buyers pay $250000 less for a ferrari . Atm in my born country a 2007 ferrari f430 is $130000
This is sad. Before you can get a trolley full for $400-$500 now it's only a couple of pieces and it's $800 - what the hell did I buy. Like seriously 😳
I used to spend $300 last year and that was with 2 kids in nappies. Now it's $400 with only one kid in nappies still. I'm trying to cut down. Even going to fresh and save, Aldi's, Coco's, green grocers, going to checkout farmers market. I used to go to bakeries and butchers but they actually costs more generally. I found a docket from last year. So much more food for less than now. Thank goodness we don't smoke, drink or go out ever. Our idea of going out and having fun is bush walking or visiting local playgrounds. We don't even have a car.
Good on the both of you two. This sort of boots on the ground stuff is so good to watch - everyone is doing it tough at the moment but this really put some things into perspective for me. I try to be grateful but it’s nice to be reminded how lucky we are. I hope those two ladies come into a bit more luck and things get easier for them
Great job mate ✌️I’m on the dsp and can’t afford to live in Australia anymore , now I live in Thailand and I can eat and drink whatever I like, rent a nice house and can go to a restaurant every night if I want to 😮
Hey mate , is it actually possible to be on DPS, and keep it ongoing while living in Thailand '? Glad to hear you're doing better there . Very true , I'm on a DSP in au , and I just can't manage anymore and need to find myself solutions going forward . Hope you're well mate .
@@insight11111 Hey mate.. yeah I’m hearing you, I couldn’t even get a place back home … yes there is mate, you need to call centre link international department,they make it hard to find, it’s called an indefinite travel portal.. but you have to basically reapply for the dsp again unless you’re paperwork is still relevant, so you do run the risk of being rejected and losing your dsp.. I got mine a few years ago,but for me it did take some time but was pretty easy and the lady who handled my case was lovely, she even rang me the day before Xmas to let me know before she left for her Xmas break 💯👍 but yeah mate it’s nice to feel like you’re not on the bottom shelf anymore 👍
That mum who works 7 days a week, that isn’t normal. That’s fine if you want to do that but most people can’t… it’s not normal. It’s always some yuppy living in a huge house with a 6 figure job lol. Go touch grass…
Housing!! Bring down the cost of housing and everything else will fall into place. There are so many low cost building and construction methods and many areas that land can be had cheaper as well as taxes and duties that can be reduced BUT that will push down the value of every home and the rich people that already have homes will never agree to that
What a great vlog and interesting people from all walks Jamie thank you for sharing and showing us that the cost of living crisis is real and affecting most of us!
This is this is why I like your videos Jamie it’s fun but at every end you get that tinge of hope from people sitting on hopelessness, it’ll be alright, it is meant be alright at the end of the day ❤🇦🇺
She's just doing her job. Don't like fines, obey parking rules. Fines are avoidable, maybe lose the attitude of entitlement and follow the same rules the rest of us do
She also probably works for a private hospital. If she thinks this way. If she worked public she definitely looks down upon her patients and other lower coworkers.
Coles double the price for 3 weeks than normal price which the say is half price for 1 week.... they should be made to display the rrp next to every item
You don’t need to work hard , but smart and let other work for you , I owned a business for 24 years and I had 8 employees finally I retired with a wealth 2.5 million
I love your work Jamie. It's good to see somebody putting the voices of the average Aussies front and centre. The crisis we are in now is the result of the mismanagement and crony capitalism from all parties both State and Federal over the last 30 years or so.

Worst thing that can happen is it’ll eventually start hurting even them. Sounds like they went from zero to hero and if economy gets so bad it affects them then how do ppl less fortunate than them survive
its called double mortgage rates it destroys everyone
Jamie your journalism is sensational man. Now you gotta investigate high cash jobs and the discipline and hard work it takes to be successful
I think we can all agree that this man is sex on a stick. He needs to set up an onlyfans account
That doctor works 7 days a week (her choice) but is able to spend time with her daughter in the middle of the day, give me a bloody break.
That's what I'm thinking. She's either above average in energy and health or she's lying.
Most people would be worn out and burnt out.
That's exactly what I thought!.. working 7 days a week, but out and about on a sunny day with manicured nails😜 I work 6 days a week and on my day off I'm rushing around grocery shopping, house cleaning etc! Give me a break blondie
This is exactly what Australia needs, investigate what holds back our quality of life.
She doesn't work a labour intensive job.
She has a high pay rate.
She's still young and doesn't look like she has disabilities or illnesses.
She seems to have a wealthy partner as well.
She was in a place she was able to be ahead of others.
She can also hire help with her kids or has family that will help.
Not everyone has that.
Clearly she doesn't realise that getting to be able to do what she did takes the right elements.
Not everyone can earn her income even if they break their backs trying.
Recently I bought a chicken and I started planting all the seeds from the food I bought from Coles. So far I have not needed to buy eggs, tomatoes and potatoes since. The produce is also much better especially comparing it to what I bought and what I grew from it. The tomatoes from Coles didn't have any juice inside but the ones I grew were juicy and delicious. I really recommend people do the same. If we all grow one thing then we can trade within our street and the community.
Wonderful idea! 💕🌻
works 7 days a week to go shopping 7 days a week
Chick at 2:54 reckons we should spend 90% of the time we aren’t sleeping working…
Australia is getting pretty fked
Nwo
my ass is used to it now
It's only going to get worse 😢
The surgeon and her hubby have no idea!! Privileged life!! Try living on a disability pension in the western suburbs.
I love the people out west! Hearts of Gold! 🙌🏽
Loved this Jamie. Great interviewing skills you have. Never afraid to ask random strangers on the street. I hope Anne and Dianne all the best and good health ❤
Maybe if the Surgeon sold her LV hat, her 8kg engagement ring, the 48ct earrings weighing down her ear lobes, and her Supreme t-shirt, her Husband wouldn’t have to whinge about everyone doing it “tough”…..
He owns a car dealership and not enough people are buying lambos these days
Just cause he mad it and youdidnt
The hat and shirt are clear fakes. Times are so tough theycan't afford the real thing.
It’s Lorbek, look him up
@@mattsammi4143 They are still fakes, so either they didn't know or they didn't want to spend the money because times are tough at the moment.
You sir are a gentleman. Cost of living is f@%ked these days.
When rich people say just work hard 😂😂😂
My Dad worked 80 hrs a civil construction company owner. I don't see lazy poltican work those hours the not worth 500k
@@coopsnz1 he would have earned some decent coin as an owner. If you are a lower paid worker they would earn less even if they worked as hard.

@@d15z1sux500k which is 5%
That surgeon needs to stfu and get a reality check.
Working harder and longer hours on minimum wage is galaxies away from working “harder” as a surgeon.
You’d literally burn your self out to only make an extra $500-$1000 bucks max on minimum wage vs making $10,000s extra being a surgeon.
I wanted to clap her cheeks when she started saying that
Yep I'd be working like a dog on steroids if I was making hundreds of thousands per year.
Her job also isn't labour intensive.
I've worked in hospitals. Surgeons get spoiled. If they are good surgeons even more so. What she earns in a day or two is more than a full time minimum wage earner's income.
Bodies wear out, minds burn out.
She had the ability to work herself that hard. No everyone starts out the same as her. There is only so much people can do and achieve.
@@hollysmith1347 you saying what surgeon Lady earns in a day or two is what someone on min wage earns in a YEAR?
@@JasonISF people usually get paid fortnightly not yearly.
So she could work two days and still earn more than they make in a fortnight working full time. Especially if she is a good surgeon.
Groceries and fuel is much cheaper in Russia, think about that. Our leaders are meant to care about the country
Fuel tax to hell in Australia, but new Zealand & Denmark worse 65% fuel excise plus the other taxes
Fuel prices fluctuate on weekends and public holidays*
Cried at the end part of this video. Bless you, Jamie!
I understand what the surgeon was saying, but the reality is the vast majority of people do not and can not operate like that. Working hours like it's the industrial revolution leads to multiple mental health issues when there is no time to socialise, be with family, exercise or do anything that you might actually enjoy (ie be human) other than work. She may have had the drive to work hard to get the career she desired, but for many less advantaged it is working literally just to pay off the bills and stay afloat.
No the lazy, my Dad worked 70 hrs min . Who works 40 hrs I work way more than that
6 days last week
That lady working all those hours would have house cleaner, laundry, gardener's, people washing their car etc etc, I work for people like that, they outsource everything that they can't do so they can concentrate on their profession or business
@@coopsnz1strangers raising your kids?
@@nevilleabbott2330exactly. Well said.
This guy’s channel and videos are amazing.
Thanks Jaimie. It’s pretty rough for a lot of people in the States as well.
It must be so nice to be an intelligent white woman that has had an upbringing that instilled her with enough confidence to go out there and access opportunities that reward you both financially and mentally. Imagine having that level of privilege and feeling that entitled. What a dream.
Yes, her servants should just work harder lol
Yeah, rich parents along the way most likely too
I'm sure ppl have seen the upload with Tucker Carlson who showed how cheap a cart of groceries are in Russia - that supposedly has sanctions.
The surgeon is doing it tough on her 500k a year
She had to work her ass off to get there! Don’t be jealous.
Wow. Hard to take that first guy seriously in saying “If I had the answer I wouldn’t be here”…..As he stands beside his McLaren wearing his $500 Alexander Wang t-shirt 😳
That guy is a real one. He just didn't want to talk down to regular people giving them condescending advice.
just because one guy is able to and because he teaches someone else how to, doesn't enable them the same success or even success. It's a combination of a lot of things
His probably tried to help people by giving them “advice” but it doesn’t work for all
I bet he works 18 hour days , but we are watching cost of living videos. He is not 😂
No one has the answer, otherwise it wouldve been solved already. At least he wasnt a dick about it and tried to be humble in his success. Stop being so negative
You heard it here first. Everyone just needs to work 3 jobs. Problem solved!
Make it 4 for good measure!
That's if you can get one or a second. Humans aren't robots our bodies wear out.
She's not in a labour intensive job.
Can you imagine a 70 year old brick layer with a busted back and knees?
She doesn't know she had a good start.
That silly lady saying just work hard 😂 how about retail workers who pack heavy items for minimum wage lady .
This is why investing is smart. Through property, eBay selling online books, there are multipacks of motivational courses that will assist you prosper your income, or even earn a living. The right mind set is important when it comes to inverting. Don’t be fooled, they won’t teach you this in university or college, but it’s the future, online market. Working hard is rewarding, but work less, earn more.
Having to leave hospital because you can't pay is utterly appalling in a rich Western country.
Brilliant journalism. My hours have been cut in half, i cook at a pub and no one can afford to eat out anymore, so i have been taking home $530 a week for the past month, and ny rent is $400 and it costs me $100 to do a grocery shop for like 18 items and i put $30 petrol in my car.
Why is toast bread 50c more than sandwich bread at my local woolys ... I squash the bread in the shop so its unsellable. Makes ya feel a little better
Bahahahaha this made my day a bit more bearable. Thank you. 🙏
It really is the small things isn’t it.
To everyone out there buckle up cause if you think it’s bad now it going to get a lot worse. Prepare and educate yourself now
You the man Jamie,, you made those lady’s week 🙏🏽
That surgeon.."and and work 2/ 3 jobs" . Serioulsy why would anyone want to work so many jobs just to get by?????????
It's not what anyone wants, but what is needed to, if it's what it takes, instead of whining.
You’re the man Jamie for blessing those ladies. God bless 🙏🏽
Jamie you’re the absolute best loved your video and your generosity towards those two ladies. You really nail your content so well.
I don't want a surgeon doing 15 hour days 7 days a week.. i want a well rested doctor thats not worked to the bone
A chiropractor?
@@xyz-pg3zd I said surgeon you fool, didn't I? Since when is a chiropractor a surgeon?
@@brettleonard8602 idk u said bone heheh
what a legend. the ones who will be remembered are those who step up and help others in times of need.
Great work Jamie and team, proud of you guys
Jamie you're amazing plain and simple. We need more people like you in this world. God bless 😍
When are people going to protest the cost of living? To busy protesting aus day or wars that have nothing to do with Australian's.
I feel sorry for the surgeon”s child!
Working seven days per week, they would be strangers to each other 💔💔
Great work here Jamie!! Thank you for the kind gesture at the end with the 2 ladies
You are a talented and gifted young man. Bravo for being a voice for the people 👍
One thing I notice is the cost of a full shopping cart at supermarket 5 years ago now only fills those half /small trolleys
Australian population is definitely seeing the rise to the cost of living.
Especially in s***hole Sydney
Makes me laugh when you hear a programmed vax brain response “just work hard” “get a second or third job” friggin NPC’s, gotta love ‘em.
Female SURGEON Says you have to work hard. Its ok for her to be on a salary of $ 210.000 +
15 hr days 7 days a week, who’s raising her child? I’d rather budget raise my own child then do her bs way of living.
They get a lot of vacation time as well
awesome work mate. talking to locals and asking the right questions amazing journalism
Amazing work gents congrats on a well put together upload, thanks for all you do.
Well done on interviewing real people. These interviews are genuine unlike the majority of mainstream. You’re doing real journalism keep it up. The struggle is real. Single father with two kids. Been suffering mentally with the stress. I know it’s terrible to say but I feel a bit better knowing it’s not just me.
I understand how you feel as I’m in a similar situation and I just thought I’d stop and leave a comment to say keep on keeping on. It has to end somewhere. 👍🏻
Can we start a national petition for the government to woolies and coles to drop the prices or something because how are we meant to live. Between the rental crisis and now this, we are just going to be homeless and starving fighting for survival. We are meant to be the luckiest country in the world 😢😢😢😢
2:45 🤦 she has no idea. I'm working as a labourer in construction 10-12hr days 6 days a week, and I'm just getting by.
Has she? She worked hard getting where is now. Did you know how much studying she has done? Did you do that as well? Well, you didn't consider that as work, did you? Working hard to better herself. That's the difference between you & her, so don't get bitter.
@@thegriffin_8you’re a dick, mate! She probably had rich parents who paid for her study and her rent while she was at uni. And now she pays people to look after her children, do her cleaning and gardening etc.
So what’s the difference between her working 15 hours as a doctor and someone else working 15 hours a day as a tradie? She’s still working harder is she? Even though she doesn’t have all the other responsibilities to deal with when she finishes.
@@thegriffin_8different people are suited to diff roles. Who's going to build people's houses, buildings? It's not going to be the surgeon is it
@@stevenedwards7070 people are where they worked hard for (or didn't). Also a lot have jobs, not because they're suited for it, but because they needed the job to get by.
Grass are greener for some jobs, but it's not right to belittle the surgeon, saying she has no idea, for she worked hard & she still is to better herself on that field. So there's no need for comparison, for they have chosen different paths or roles in life.
Just work hard.. says already immensely successful couple. A surgeon and a car yard owner.. uh huh.
We work hard.. 6 days a week, 12 to 15 hours a day and barely can put food on the table.
Cereal alone is about $50 a week.
Good job Jamie, True Aussie Spirit.
Having lived in multiple areas around Mount druitt with both parents of disability pension was never easy and pre-covid (like most people) studied and worked hard to start make a decent living. I thought at the time, things are going up and i was really helping lift the stress off my family.
Fast forward now, post covid, it now feels like 2017-18 due to living costs and medical costs. I hope with the recent government change, things can change. It wont be easy and short but hopefully started
Jamie, thank you for showing us and the internet, how it’s really like out here in the west. Not many have the courage to open the curtains and i salute you!
I feeling so sad for the two ladies
Good on ya, mate. The government won't help 'em so I'm glad you did.
The ladies from Mount Druitt are the salt of the earth type ladies, just like you, young man. I can’t help but notice the lines on either side of Dianne’s mouth (lady in the wheelchair) dropping down…that’s from years of having a hopeless and painful look on your face. God bless them. All the best to people all over the world. I hope everybodies circumstance in life gets better
What even is this comment.
Cheers for sharing that and thank you for giving support to those people !
Good on ya lad! That was inspiring…. Unfortunately at my age, 43,
I fear it’s already way to too late for substantial change in Australia now.
The amount of tax we pay is insane,
Government services are almost useless,
We are all suffering for a small few to profit.
Without this changing there will be no progress ever!!!
I sincerely feel Australia is doomed
There 125 taxes, is more under labor
Usa has fk all taxes why it cheaper to live, homes , cars & products cheaper to buy
Look how much taxes on a bade model ferrari in Australia it $250000 . Usa buyers pay $250000 less for a ferrari . Atm in my born country a 2007 ferrari f430 is $130000
This video need to be seen by more people, and the government
This is sad. Before you can get a trolley full for $400-$500 now it's only a couple of pieces and it's $800 - what the hell did I buy. Like seriously 😳
I used to spend $300 last year and that was with 2 kids in nappies.
Now it's $400 with only one kid in nappies still.
I'm trying to cut down. Even going to fresh and save, Aldi's, Coco's, green grocers, going to checkout farmers market. I used to go to bakeries and butchers but they actually costs more generally.
I found a docket from last year. So much more food for less than now.
Thank goodness we don't smoke, drink or go out ever. Our idea of going out and having fun is bush walking or visiting local playgrounds.
We don't even have a car.
Good on the both of you two. This sort of boots on the ground stuff is so good to watch - everyone is doing it tough at the moment but this really put some things into perspective for me. I try to be grateful but it’s nice to be reminded how lucky we are. I hope those two ladies come into a bit more luck and things get easier for them
Thank you for the kindness u gave these 2 ladies in Mt Druitt 💞
Great job mate ✌️I’m on the dsp and can’t afford to live in Australia anymore , now I live in Thailand and I can eat and drink whatever I like, rent a nice house and can go to a restaurant every night if I want to 😮

Go touch grass…
Housing!! Bring down the cost of housing and everything else will fall into place. There are so many low cost building and construction methods and many areas that land can be had cheaper as well as taxes and duties that can be reduced BUT that will push down the value of every home and the rich people that already have homes will never agree to that
I'm so blessed that I can afford to stay healthy and sheltered in these unpredictable times. Wishing you all to stay safe and warm.
Love the video. Good on you for assisting those ladies with shopping. We need more kindness shown to each other. Keep up the good work Jamie. 👍
