“Accounting for Life” with Rebecca Pritchard

Not Super. Woman

There is no doubt that the cost of living has made actually living a stretch for the majority.

With scary statistics such as it’s currently 8.5 times the average income to buy a house in the Australian housing market, the average median earnings (according to The Australian Bureau of statistics) is approx $1,300 per week, yet the average cost of a standard supermarket shop has increased by 33% within the last 3 years.

So then add on the living expenses beyond a roof over your head, and food for nourishment such as social norms like gifts for special occasions, holiday events such as Easter or Christmas that usually include banquets and gifting gestures, clothing, or enjoying activities beyond work eg. Travel and entertainment.

So we decided to tackle the ‘B’ word - Budget - with our favourite Financial Guru - Rebecca Pritchard. Where do you start when it’s time to review what’s coming in and what’s going out? How do you decide where the money goes in order of priority?

And how do we prepare for the most expensive time of year - Christmas / Summer Holidays.
