  An Aussie woman has tearfully opened up about her struggle to get ahead in the current cost-of-living crisis. Rising housing, electricity, fuel and grocery prices, coupled with lagging wages, means more and more Aussies feel like they are just treading water.

The article from MSN discusses the financial struggles of a cleaner named Sarah, who earns $1,270 a week, highlighting the broader cost of living crisis affecting millions in Australia. Despite her relatively high income for her profession, Sarah finds it impossible to get ahead financially due to rising costs in essentials like rent, groceries, and utilities. The piece points out that even with a full-time job, many Australians are facing similar issues, with wages not keeping pace with inflation. It underscores the systemic problem where even those with stable employment are living paycheck to paycheck, unable to save or invest in their future, and calls for policy changes to address this growing economic disparity.
