1
For millions of Aussies the cost of living just keeps going up.
2
No outside coffee like you're making coffee at home.
3
We had to move back into our parents place for a little bit to do that yeah.
4
Mortgage repayments, rent, fuel, the weekly grocery shop, then there's electricity, insurance, child care, school fees and medical bills.
5
I'd hate to be a young person starting out right now
6
and there's almost no chance of most people ever buying a home without significant help from parents.
7
And for many households, wages just aren't stretching as far as they used to.
8
Aussies are being forced to cut back, dip into savings, or rethink spending that used to be considered normal.
9
So, it's no wonder that people are feeling frustrated.
10
Are you saving for a house at the moment?
11
No, it's not.
12
Not something you even thought about?
13
Well, it's like, it's pushing it off.
14
We hit the streets to find out what Aussies are sacrificing
15
and who they think should be doing more to ease the pressure.
16
Well, that's the government.
17
Yeah.
18
You know, that's...
19
Yeah.
20
That's Chalmers.
21
That's Jimmy.
22
That's...
23
Not doing his homework.
24
Do I own a home?
25
Yeah.
26
Well, if I don't own a home by 90, I will never own one.
27
Yeah.
28
I do because yeah I'm not a homeowner I'm renting
29
and it is it seems like a daunting daunting thing I'm hoping
30
if I can go in with someone I've got to find a partner
31
and we both co -share and get a deposit for a house
32
but yeah they're around 6 % now on homes
33
but what do you think is easier 17 % deposit like
34
back in the day on a cheaper house compared to now it's like 6 % but homes are like a million dollars.
35
I think it's similar but the house prices have just gone up too fast you know
36
and when that happens it's like the stock market then it's got to come down
37
and when it's down that's when you strike.
38
There you go.
39
And do you think people nowadays they can still save up and pay for a home in cash?
40
Do you think that's still possible like what you did or do you think it's more unrealistic now?
41
Well it doesn't matter
42
if you have to pay it off a mortgage on a house is normal you know that's that's fair enough
43
but you know you just have to get your act together
44
to get a deposit you can put ten thousand dollars down i was reading in the paper today yeah
45
and that will get you a house a home did you know
46
that ten thousand dollars deposit wow
47
and you can move into your own house what would you prefer would you rather
48
that 17 on a cheaper house or
49
the six percent on a like one million dollar place 17 on a cheaper house
50
well you're borrowing less so you're paying more for a bit okay but yeah uh in terms of like
51
20 30 years right you're still uh depends on the math
52
but do you reckon they had it easier back then um different challenges
53
because salaries were lower but asset prices were cheaper yeah so I think if they do the math it was probably easier.
54
And how was the saving you know between you
55
and your partner what were you guys cutting back on what was the first to go you cancelling your Netflix subscriptions?
56
Eating out less, grocery checking more specials on groceries.
57
Yes there are lots of apps these days to make sure you get some deals
58
and now so now you've got the place
59
and you know you're still still having to save because you're making these big lump sum repayments.
60
But you know you're here in Pitt Street, you're here with all the expensive shops, are you back to splurging a little bit?
61
No, just walking through here, just going on a stroll.
62
Going on a stroll, not spending anything?
63
Yeah, no. Are you renting at the moment?
64
Yeah.
65
Yeah, do you reckon it's harder to save while renting?
66
For sure, especially if you're like supporting yourself.
67
Yeah.
68
Because we're students.
69
Yeah, fair and
70
so do you reckon game plan would be I mean my game plan would yeah move them with parents yeah
71
and then save hopefully by that you can save yeah
72
when you're saving what's the first thing to go Netflix dinners drinks what do you like oh like splurge
73
if you like I need to knuckle down
74
and say what's the first thing no coffee no coffee no
75
outside coffee like you're making coffee at home like hundred percent
76
like you can't spend seven dollars on coffee every day what's the thing
77
that you still have to have despite this cost of living crisis you're like coffees like like yes no coffees
78
but like i can't give it up at the moment yeah
79
just gotta treat yourself sometimes do you own a home yes i do and
80
if you had to buy your home again today do you
81
reckon you could afford it uh no probably not okay
82
and why do you say
83
that uh interest rates have gone up a lot in the last 12 years or so yeah yep
84
cost of living everywhere else you know back in 1989 we saw interest rates at 17 %
85
which is a real high
86
but of course houses were cheaper comparatively to now now we are looking at
87
that 6 % mark what would you rather do you reckon you'd go for the 17 % cheaper house
88
or the 6 %
89
but on like a 1 million dollar place in Sydney you
90
used to be able to buy a house for 200 grand back then
91
so I'll take the 200 grand with a 17 % mortgage
92
and get it paid off in a few years which a lot of people did.
93
I bought BHP shares when I was about 18 -19 and just left them and they paid for the house cash.
94
And I saw a stat
95
that said three around three quarters of average household income would go towards repayments that's if you have a mortgage.
96
Which is anything above about 30 % considered mortgage stress I think so.
97
Yeah but then like myself I'm renting
98
and I am I'm trying save for a house
99
but also i'd say like half my income is going towards half my monthly income is going towards my rent
100
and then i think if i
101
if i really need to make a good dent in
102
that savings for my future home i'm gonna have to move back in with mom
103
and dad yeah that's pretty common at the moment unfortunately yeah
104
and people are living at home longer with their folks as you know so
105
final message to camera anything i have to say uh elbow
106
and labor fix the economy
107
or get out of office please how much are you like
108
paying each month like how much of your income is like half
109
a quarter between me and my partner probably about quarters
110
or half somewhere around there okay and did you guys go in together together okay
111
which does makes it a lot easier yes
112
but not not easy though um
113
and what was the first thing to cut in your savings
114
when you were saying is it is it subscriptions no no
115
coffee my my my one piece cards all my leisure activities yeah yeah
116
congrats you got one thank you uh were you guys renting whilst also saving for a deposit
117
or did you guys move back in with your parents we
118
had to move back into our parents place for a little bit to do
119
that yeah standard uh if you had to i know i was going to say
120
so would you rather
121
because we were doing some research back in 1989 interest rates hit seven mortgage interest rates hit 17
122
but homes were a lot cheaper whereas now six percent
123
that homes could be like around the one mil mark yeah what would you rather would you rather
124
that 17 100 100 lower prices higher of percentage
125
because you can pay it off so much faster
126
because i'm pretty sure most people like most of our parents
127
have paid off their home loans at this point in time
128
i can't imagine what it's trying to pay off a home loan now yeah
129
but i can because i'm trying to yeah and uh
130
so do you reckon they had it easier back then yes 100 um
131
and how realistic does buying a home field for a lot
132
of people right now like how how much grit sweat
133
and tears i think in sydney it feels unattainable yeah where's your place in sydney
134
but we bought it off the plan like a long time ago
135
so like three four years ago so it's a little bit easier back then
136
but um i mean a lot of my friends are discussing like moving to melbourne
137
because it's cheaper down there and honestly

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
