Few years ago I was able to buy all I need to survive for 100 ($120) a week (rent not included). Today I at least need 200 ($240), although I mostly buy the same stuff as before. What do you think is the reason and what implication does it have long term?
Also depends on what your living standards are, not to say you live luxury but others do with a smaller budget. If you spend more in an area such as going out for drinks then yeah it has gotten allot more expensive, or if you smoke it's atleast 3x or 4x as expensive. Not saying you do. But if you really find yourself paying allot of means of living and relaxing then it's best to revise your spendings.
