She is a beautician. She had to give up buying medicines to pay her rent. “Inflation will land me on the street”

Many countries in the world are currently struggling with high inflation. Beautician and eyelash stylist Tia Jaie from Australia recently posted a moving video on TikTok in which she confessed that she had to give up psychotherapy and medication to have money to pay her rent. “Because of inflation, many people will end up without money and without a roof over their heads,” she wrote.

Tia Jaie works as a beautician and earns about $1,000 a week. Meanwhile, one session with a therapist costs half of her salary in Australia. The other half goes to rent, which is also paid each week. The 24-year-old emphasized in the recording on her TikTok profile that she had no choice but to give up treatment.

“Everything has become more expensive”

Tia lives with her boyfriend and admits that until she stopped seeing a therapist, they lived paycheck to paycheck. To cut costs, the couple gave up meeting friends and eating out. “I think about how no one in Australia can catch their breath. Due to high inflation, many people will end up without money and without a roof over their heads. Everything has gone up: rent, food, fuel, mortgage payments, and earnings are the same. When will it end?” she wrote.

“It hurts what I see”

People who are also afraid of the future have spoken in the comments. Some openly admitted that the cost of living is too much for them. “I’m not even an adult yet and I’m already scared. I wish my parents could rest. They work so hard for the bare minimum,” wrote a teenager who watched the video. “I had to give up my dream of buying a house and starting a new chapter. I feel depressed by this,” another Internet user confessed. “The middle class doesn’t exist anymore. Right now there are only the rich and those struggling to survive,” someone else commented.
