I (41F, hairdresser) recently relocated to the Gold Coast with my husband (41M, handyman) from Vic.

We purchased a 3 bedroom townhouse in Broadbeach Waters for $1.1m and have placed our 2 teens into the highest priced private school in the area.

I felt insecure rocking up to school pickup in my Mitsubishi Pajero so I swapped it for a $150k Merc. My husband drives an old 2012 Toyota Hilux which I insist on him keeping hidden away in the garage when we have people over due to embarrassment. The repayments on the Merc are crippling us.

To make matters worse, my kids are invited to birthday parties on the weekend and I have to rock up with $100 gifts and fucking $50 cheese platters to ADD to the other 50 or so ones there, because it's just the "norm".

I was invited to a hens party last weekend and had to purchase a $500 dress. The bride insisted we wear red because she wanted to stand out in her white dress when we took photos on her motor yacht. It had to be a designer boutique dress for me otherwise I would've got judged. Her husband to be was a kingpin back in the day and funnelled some money into his concreting business. Now he has contracts with Tom Tate and their life is all legit and above board.

This lifestyle is crippling me. It's no wonder people are suffering in this economy.

How do I get into selling drugs myself? I feel like there's no way out of this expensive lifestyle.

Or when are we going to take to the streets and riot?

How am I supposed to welcome my consumer goods to Australia if I can't read this?

Do Amazon even care about racism? I mean why print this if you're just going to tape over it?

Is advertising Prime membership really more important?

The new fascist government of Queensland has scrapped the vital truth-telling inquiry. Presumably this means that everyone is going to go back to lying all the time, which obviously would be terrible. Should we hold our own cja truth-telling enquiry in solidarity with our Queensland brethren?

It creeps into your house at night and screams anti-Australian slogans.

If you guys haven't noticed, everyone who is gen Z or A all seem to have anxiety. All this has started after it became a no no to give your kid a flogging when they're being a fucking tard. I don't think this is a coincidence. Giving em a good smack is good for a child's mental health and it'll stop them from being a fucking sook and getting triggered by everything. What do you guys think?

I acknowledge my parents for having sex and creating me and giving me a flogging when I misbehaved. I don't have mental health issues because of that. I don't acknowledge anyone else. Fuck you.

Everyone knows renewables are cheaper -- the CSIRO report clearly says this, written by our best scientists.

Yet due to the Murdoch media and fossill fuel lobby groups, some people claim that fossil fuels and nuclear are cheaper. This should be illegal, because such people are contributing to policies that will ensure a climate emergency.
