Do you find life is sometimes

too expensive to enjoy? Such as the things you enjoy cost too much.
I don’t always like to stay home but here in Australia a nice meal out can set us back easily a hundred bucks, movies are unbelievable...easily $100 plus for a family...getting a massage is expensive, shopping is expensive, going on a decent holiday here you need 5k+
I’m American so know that living and entertainment is cheaper in the States. I’m curious if you find it to be expensive to live and do things for fun there or wherever you live.

Oh I am creative. I’m talking about when we want to see movies, go bowling, go on a trip, go to dinner. Why do they have make it so expensive? Not just entertainment here...living here...very crazy expensive. It shouldn’t be so expensive that people can’t enjoy living. It’s that way here.@Psycho

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 Here in the UK it was £10 to see a movie last time I went that's like 18 Australian dollars for one ticket. For a decent meal out anywhere from 1
£10 - £20 mid range.

Society is greedy. I'm not saying you are materialistic at all but stick it to society by making your own fun at less cost.

There are ways. I'm sorry if I'm lecturing you

No don’t feel lectured just sometimes I want to be able to go and enjoy things. Even something as simple as picking strawberries ends up being a high cost...and because there are so many damn people hardly any strawberries left.
Today my friend and I went to spa baths and pools because I suffer CFS and she couldn’t afford the pools that I needed so she ended up staying in the area with the two pools for $50 and I paid $100 for 6 pools. There was a magnesium pool which I needed , a ice cold plunge pool and spa bath. To me it was worth it, but had to do it alone because her husband wouldn’t let her do it. Luckily my husband and I had some extra saved so I could do it. Just would have been nice to do all six pools with her and not by myself, but my body felt nice after. I could’ve laid there all day long. Lol@Psycho
