Costs Don't miss out on the headlines from Costs. Followed categories will be added to My News. It is the most festive time of the year, but it can also be the most “stressful”, especially for a family of three living off $80,000. Rachel Green, 32, has been planning for the cost of Christmas for months, but now that December has arrived, she’s still anxious. Ms Green, who lives in Queensland, described Christmas as a “stressful time” and a period where she has to plan everything in advance. She has a young child and is pregnant with her second, and they’re all relying on her partner’s $80,000 salary. “My husband earns $1220 a week. After covering our bills and mortgage, we’re left with around $60 each week,” she told news.com.au. The 32-year-old said it feels almost “impossible” to plan ahead for Christmas and budget because everything is so expensive. “We’ve tried to stick to a strict budget, buying one or two items each week to prepare for Christmas, but we’re still not where we want to be financially,” she said. Ms Green explained why Christmas is stressful. Picture: Instagram/AussieFrugalFamily She said their mortgage right now is really high.

Earlier this year, Ms Green was trolled for sharing their mortgage stress online. “Our mortgage repayments have gone from under $400 to almost $650. It’s a crazy amount extra to pay when everything else has gone up too,” she previously told news.com.au Online, she explained how tough it is to fork out $650 a week on their mortgage, and instead of people offering her sympathy, she was met with judgment. “Sounds like you’ve overextended yourself. Sell your house and sell your car,” one wrote. “Maybe don’t have children! If you can’t even afford it,” one said, with another slamming the family for using charity services they claimed other people “need more”. Ms Green is not alone in her stress. It’s been an expensive year for Australians. The median rental price nationwide has soared past $600, the official cash rate has held for over a year, and conversations about inflation and shrinkflation have been ongoing. The young family survive off one income. Picture: Instagram/AussieFrugalFamily Ms Green shares her frugal tips online. Picture: Instagram/AussieFrugalFamily MORE: Sign RBA is creating ticking time bomb The financial stress is impacting everyone. Non-bank lender, MONEYME , conducted a survey that found 43 per cent of households earning between $100,000 to $149,000 and 37 per cent of households earning between $50,000 to $99,000 plan to spend more this Christmas than the last. Since Aussies are expecting to spend more, they are trying to make cuts where they can. Thirty seven per cent plan to reduce their grocery spending and forgo traditional Christmas staples like oysters, prawns, red meat, and turkey. Ms Green isn’t surprised by these trends. She thinks about money all the time. In fact, she runs a popular social media account called AussieFrugalFamily , where she documents how she budgets. “Even people who are usually financially comfortable are feeling the squeeze this year. Many Christmas items that were once staples are now considered luxuries,” she said. Ms Green said one relief has been that she’s not hosting Christmas. She’ll be going to her mum’s and everyone is expected to bring a plate, so not one person gets lumped with the Christmas lunch cost. “We’re not cutting back completely. We’re trying to be smarter about our purchases,” she said. “For instance, instead of fresh prawns, we’re buying frozen ones to thaw the night before.” “We’ve also divided the food responsibilities among family members. If everyone contributes, we can still enjoy the traditional Christmas feast without overspending.” Aussies are cutting back this Christmas but still spending more. Picture: Instagram/AussieFrugalFamily Ms Green said that people should also consider going to food banks to get through Christmas. “Many of these places actively encourage people to shop with them. You can save money on your Christmas food bill while supporting a charity. It’s a win-win,” she said. She’s also got a game plan for once Christmas is over and wants to take advantage of the yearly sales. “If you have some funds left, hit the shops after Christmas. There are great sales on items like meat and seafood, which can be frozen for New Year’s, Australia Day, or even meals throughout the next few months,” she recommended. “The freezer is your best friend when it comes to saving money.” Clayton Howes, CEO at MONEYME , said that it is clear Aussies are doing it tough this Christmas. “The festive season is a time for family and giving but its clear many Aussies – particularly Millennials and Gen Z – are feeling the financial pinch this year,” he said. “This survey shows that some Aussies are forgoing luxuries to help ease the cost of living pressures, but are determined to have a joyful celebration with loved ones, despite it being a tough year financially.” More Coverage ‘Completely false’: Cops hit back in 28yo case Claudia Poposki ‘Chained to my desk’: 28yo quits $170k job Mary Madigan Originally published as ‘Stressful’: Proof Aussies are doing it tough this Christmas More related stories Designers Surprising Aussie fashion trend revealed Buy-now pay-later giant Afterpay has revealed some surprising Aussie fashion trends in its latest Afterpaid report, with one colour dominating 2024.

Transportation and hybrid virtual health are among the top needs for rural medical patients in B.C, according to a recent rural healthcare event. On Nov. 20 and 27, the Rural Coordination Center of BC hosted its Rural Voices event engaging with over 500 diverse community members from local physicians to every day residents. Conversations focused on ways to improve rural health. "What really stood out is the resilience and positivity and willingness of communities to take action on these issues themselves," said Alice Muirhead, RCcbc's director of outreach and engagement. Transportation solutions mentioned by participants included volunteer-based transportation connecting multiple communities, mobile health vans, and helicopter services. Attendees brought up sometimes overlooked details such as much-needed but non-urgent care access, and the need for financial assistance following treatment. "A person might have funding to transport them to urgent acute care, but sometimes it's not covered for them to return to their community," Muirhead said. Participants discussed enhancing virtual care options such as online or Telehealth appointments, as well as accessible online records. "This is the idea that maybe you see a doctor or nurse practitioner or a nurse in your community face to face on their schedule, but you also have access to that person virtually, so you build a relationship in person, and you're building trust with the same person over time, but you're able to access them more frequently because of those virtual modes of care." In terms of enhancing such remote-based care, participants spoke of data systems that can communicate with one another, such as a centralized system for all healthcare providers. "There's a lot of challenges to sharing patient information between health authorities, between clinics, between levels of care," Muirhead added. "So, a lot of people talked about the need for improved technology solutions to share information in a way that's still private, confidential and safe, but that enables better care." Additionally, many highlighted a desire for collaboration and empowered patients. "These are really big, complex systems, and change takes time. So, I think there is a lot of positive momentum. There's a lot of people trying to do things in different, more positive ways. It just takes a lot of time." Canada is large with many communities outside of city centres. Muirhead compared rural health access to other community and infrastructure needs and access. "There isn't sort of a big box store down the road where they can buy everything they need. They're used to sort of making do with what they have. And I think the same is true for health and wellness. RCCbc will be releasing summaries of Rural Voices, aiming to share gathered ideas with the Ministry of Health, health authorities, and organizations across the province.

Fans react to Mariah Carey failing to hit her iconic high note during her Christmas concert Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com By SHARON MAI FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:36, 24 December 2024 | Updated: 22:46, 24 December 2024 e-mail View comments Fans of Mariah Carey had mixed reactions to her faltering high note during a recent performance. In the comments section of an Instagram video showing the 55-year-old songstress performing at her Christmas concert in Philadelphia, social media users shared their disappointment. They noticed that she struggled and did not fully hit her iconic 'It's Time' high note, which she made iconic in her annual holiday season kickoff video. The All I Want for Christmas Is You hitmaker — who sparked romance rumors with musician Anderson .Paak, 38, after they were spotted holding hands in Aspen, Colorado — also let a brief, seemingly dissatisfied expression appear on her face before she swiftly gathered her composure and made a quick recovery. However, as the clip has begun making its rounds on social media, now on both Instagram and TikTok , fans are bringing attention to the minor hiccup and calling her out for missing the note. She was performing smash hits from her fourth studio album, Merry Christmas, which she released in October 1994 and revives every year for the winter holiday season.

A slew of comments pointed out her high note or lack thereof. 'Wait so did she do it? I've watched this video on a loop and I can't hear it,' one Instagram user wrote. Another user commented: 'Is the note in the room with us?' 'That note kicking her a**,' one Instagram commenter wrote alongside a laughing emoji. Some social media users defended the superstar and spoke highly of her performance skills. One Instagram commenter said they 'saw Mariah last Tuesday and she hit all her high notes.' 'And she sang a couple of her classics,' the fan recalled. 'It was a lot of fun. Definitely worth seeing.' Another Instagram user wrote that it seemed like the vocalist was suffering a sore throat, hypothesizing that she was pushing through it to perform anyway.

This comes shortly after Carey enjoyed what appeared to be a romantic date night with her rumored new beau Anderson .Paak. The pair, who share a 17-year age gap, were seen holding hands as they entered Catch Steak restaurant in Aspen, Colorado together on Sunday evening. At one point, the Leave The Door Open singer, 38, appeared to hold the door open for her and gently wrapped his arm around her waist as they ducked into the eatery. While the duo's display may have suggested they were an item, sources insisted to TMZ that they are not dating, and the musicians were even observed leaving the restaurant separately.

In a post on the social media platform X, Eric Trump shared a doctored photo of his father purchasing Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal on Amazon, with the phrase "We are so back!!!" Since winning the presidential election in November, Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as the "51st state." On Trump's Truth Social platform, he's also repeatedly referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the "governor" of Canada. Trump has also threatened 25 per cent tariffs against Canada, which has prompted discussions at both the federal and provincial levels on the best way to deal with the incoming Trump government. Carleton University professor Aaron Ettinger said federal officials have rightly been dismissing the social-media posts and maintained a "focus like a laser beam" on the real and "existential threat" of tariffs. "This strikes me as being profoundly unserious," said Ettinger, who has studied Canada-U.S. relations during the first Trump presidency. "These are taunts; these are churlish provocations that are not mature, and do not reflect just how serious the coming trade war is," he said. Ettinger said Trump is likely continually posting about Canada because it plays well to his supporters, without being seen as a real threat of annexation. "We know his moves. He makes fun of, he belittles, he mocks, because he can," he said. But he said that a vacuum of leadership in Ottawa from embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is spurring "the freelancing of some of the provincial leaders" in response to Trump's comments. For example, Ontario Premier Doug Ford weighed in on Trump's postings on Dec. 18, telling media that "we'll never be the 51st state. We're Canada; we're proud to be Canadians. We'll always fight for that." Ettinger said civil society is similarly better to focus on convincing Americans to not impose damaging tariffs on Canada, instead of amping up anti-Trump rhetoric. "Canadians should worry first about what Canada's actual national interests are," he said. "We're not going to out-trash talk Donald Trump, so don't even bother trying and focus instead on the core stuff that really matters." In response to Trump's threats, the Trudeau Liberal government has unveiled a $1.3 billion spending package over six years to address Trump's threats, which concern border security and the flow of illegal drugs into the United States. Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman has repeatedly characterized Trump's comments as gentle ribbing between two close countries. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said on Dec. 13 that she has quipped to Republican senators that they could join Canada as the eleventh province. Greenland's head of government, Múte Bourup Egede, suggested that Trump's latest calls to purchase the territory from Denmark would be as meaningless as those made in his first term. "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale," he said in a statement. "We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom." Panama President José Raúl Mulino has also rebuffed Trump's musing about taking over the Panama Canal. "Every square metre of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to," he said in a video, to which Trump fired back on his social media site, "We'll see about that!"

NFL on Netflix: Christmas Day games are a 1st for streaming giantVice President Sara Duterte said on Saturday that she was tipped to win the 2022 presidential election but ''gave it away'' to pursue other plans. ''The presidency of 2022 was mine already. Nanalo na ako sa surveys, lahat ng tao solid na, united na for my candidacy. Pero I gave it away because I felt I had to do some other things other than being president of the Republic of the Philippines,'' Duterte told reporters. (The presidency of 2022 was mine already. I won in the surveys; the people were solid and united for my candidacy. But I gave it away because I felt I had to do some other things other than being president of the Republic of the Philippines.) Duterte initially filed her candidacy for mayor of Davao City. She later changed her mind and decided to run alongside now President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The vice president issued the statement in response to the claim of Zambales 1st District Representative Jefferson ''Jay'' Khonghun that the current political conflict stemmed from her supposed ambition to become president soon. Duterte has been under congressional scrutiny over her use of confidential funds and the budget of the Department of Education, which the vice president characterized as a form of ''political persecution.'' She did, however, confirm that she will be present at the next hearing of the House committee on the matter. ''Huwag nila ako i-gaslight into saying na ako ang dahilan ng kaguluhan na ito. Ang kaguluhan na ito ay nagsimula sa terrorism nila, sa harassment nila, sa threats nila sa mga personnel ng Office of the Vice President,'' she said. (They should not gaslight me by saying that I was the reason for this conflict. This conflict began with their terrorism, harassment, and threats against the personnel of the Office of the Vice President.) Meanwhile, Duterte declined to comment on Marcos' statement that he was not in favor of any attempts to impeach her since this would not benefit the lives of Filipinos. She also declined to comment on Marcos' seeming willingness to reconcile. In a radio interview, Senator Imee Marcos said an impeachment proceeding against Duterte could be ''polarizing.'' “Watak-watak na nga tayo, nagiging Luzon versus VisMin tayo. Ang sagwa kasi laging naririnig ko sa tatay ko, laging sigaw niya talagang ‘isang bansa, isang diwa’... Sa ginagawa at lahat ng nangyayari, lalo na kung matuloy ang impeachment na yan,” the senator said. (We are now separated, we are becoming Luzon versus VisMin. It’s unsightly because I always hear my father always say ‘one country, one mind’... From what is happening and everything that is going on, especially if the impeachment proceeds.) She said that the political conflict may affect investor confidence. “Nagpaplano sila ng long term na five years [or] ten years sa kanilang investment, tapos hindi nila maasahan. Lagi silang nagagalit kapag ganyan at kapag may instability or alitan or any kind of political anxiety. Ayaw na ayaw nila yan, mahirap talagang mag-invest kasi maglalagay ka ng pera mo sa isang lugar na hindi ka sigurado kung saan patungo at sino ang mamamahala,” she said. (They plan for a long term of five years [or] ten years in their investment, then they end up not being able to rely on it. They are always angry at this, if there is instability or discourse or any kind of political anxiety. They really don’t like it, it’s hard to invest because you will be putting your money into a place where you are not sure what will happen and who will be leading it.) “Sana utusan na talaga ang Congress [House of Representatives] na huwag nang pilitin itong impeachment. Kung may kaso magfile ng kaso at huwag nang pagwatak-watakin ang ating bansa. Dahil ito nga, hindi nga nakakatulong,” she added. (I hope the House will be ordered not to push through with the impeachment. If they have a case to file, then just file it and not divide the country. Because this does not help.) — VBL, GMA Integrated News
