Well wasting money happens everyday. It's all relative. I wasted $4.40 on a coffee on a daily basis

Inflation:

Omg air fares are so expensive! <books flight>.
Omg a new bathroom has gone up 25%. <signs contract>
Omg harvey norman tvs have gone up 50% since covid <buys schmick 4k>

Hence interest rate rises until the merkins stop spending. Let's not pretend that they are not spending, cos they still are.

It is interesting how much people spend across a year on a random daily coffee. When I went to an office 5 days per week pre COVID, it was nothing for me to spend more than $35 per week just on coffees. That adds up over a year. I had no issue paying that much for coffee, as I enjoy a coffee.

Context: a merkin who is a ceo of a big name financial institution* told me this as we bumped into each other at the car wash morning. #funfact.

* no they can’t sponsor the eels because it would be a conflict of interest…….

As an aside, I went to the cafe down the street from my place where I get my coffee from on a weekend ( used to be every day when I was working from home during covid). Ordered my usual this morning and handed over my $4.50 in correct change... When the dude gives me my coffee, he says, just so you know for next time, the price has gone up, it's $5.30 now... I was stunned... 20% increase just like that!!

Analed. I can still get a large for $4 - $4.50
$5 seems to be common. I visited a mate in Parra and we grabbed a coffee from some Brasilian place. Cost $14.50 for 2. We questioned it amd they said it's $6.40 normal but 15% surcharge for public holiday.
My mates tried talking them into giving us a free biscuit but they said No.

On Friday night I went for Portugese food. The couples either side of me and my friend where eating bowls of chips and burgers. This is a sign inflation has kicked in and hurting people.

For the record I had a rack of lamb, sizzling garlic prawns and a chorizo rissole. Washed down with 2 x glasses of red.

Yeah same. I buy one every day. But I enjoy the social side of it

Haha what a joke of a sport. Talk about micro management.

Fans may as well all turn up muzzled.

In saying that there is a booing culture in the aerial ping pong.

Since when has a NRL team apologised for there fans booing.

Or clubs telling fans not to boo a certain player which is happening in the AFL.
