Podcasts about cost of living crisis

Consumer confidence has fallen to a 10-month low as the high cost of living and weak housing and labour markets continue to have an impact. The ANZ-Roy Morgan survey on Friday also revealed consumers' perceptions of their personal financial situations had fallen to their lowest level since October 2023. Financial mentors say the cost of living is particularly concerning for those on fixed incomes like pensioners. This week an RNZ survey showed even retirees who have paid off their homes are struggling as rates and insurance costs increase. Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson joins Susie Ferguson from Wellington.

In this week's Talking Money, Etholle unpacks what your weekly supermarket shop really says about money, class, and identity in Britain. 

It feels like we're having to pay more and more for the basics every month. New figures released this week showed food inflation has reached an 18-month high of 4.2% - pushed up by household favourites like chocolate, eggs and butter. The energy price cap is also rising, again. So, when will we start to feel a bit better off?   Why is the hangover of the cost of living crisis still lingering? And as the nights draw in, what can be done to survive another cold winter?   On today's episode, Jonathan Samuels is joined by business correspondent Paul Kelso - who explains why prices remain stubbornly high - and Money blogger Jess Sharp, who offers some advice and tips to struggling households.   Producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Emily Hulme  Editor: Mike Bovill  

Everything feels like it's getting worse but is there a way to change it?

Is the AUKUS agreement under threat from Trump? Could AUKUS force Australia into an armed conflict with China if the USA goes to war with China? Is the government doing... LEARN MORE The post Saturday, 12th July, 2025:Neil Pharaoh, Co-Founder TANCK: Cost of living crisis and International Politics Update appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

We begin today with a presentation on all the conservative priorities that are being ignored or violated. Chief among them is that Trump continues to make terrible endorsements, now endorsing all the RINOs in the Texas legislature. Also, the courts continue to be a problem, and absent using must-pass legislation to kick the courts out of immigration enforcement, mass deportations are dead. Then there is the economy. We're joined today by E.J. Antoni, chief economist for the Heritage Foundation, who demonstrates how we have not solved the cost-of-living crisis because it is caused by a degree of debt and asset bubbles that have not been addressed. He warns that simply lowering the federal funds rate will not solve the problem and will likely backfire. We also discuss the folly of populism, how it winds up continuing those same policies that lead to the disparity between income levels and the burden of inflation, and how free-market conservatism is the only viable solution.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Prime Minister has promised to take action in the coming months to tackle the cost of living crisis. Christopher Luxon has acknowledged it is still tough out there for too many kiwis and the government's focus is on unlocking economic growth. According to Stats NZ the price of food has gone up 4.4% in the last year. Electricity is up almost 9% and gas is up more than 15%. As of March last year house insurance was up almost 25 % and contents insurance up about 28%. This week figures from Centrix showed almost half a million people are behind on debt repayments. Finance Minister Nicola Willis spoke to Lisa Owen.

"Starmer Winter Fuel U-Turn: Too Little, Too Late" #Starmer U-turn, #Winter Fuel Allowance, #Reform UK, #Nigel Farage Rumours are swirling after Labour's bruising losses to Reform UK in last week's council elections. Is the government now preparing to U-turn on one of its most controversial policies — the massive cut to Winter Fuel Allowance for millions of pensioners? Health Minister Wes Streeting admitted today that voters “aren't happy,” revealing it was a major issue on the doorstep during the campaign. But Jon Gaunt asks: Is it too little, too late? More importantly, is Labour starting to look like "Reform Lite" — dancing to Farage's tune out of panic? Just ten months into office and Starmer's team is already in retreat. That's not a reset — that's a crisis. With Keir Starmer now the most unpopular Prime Minister on record, is this government already on the ropes? Could Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper — or even Starmer himself — be forced out? And is Nigel Farage a dead cert to be Britain's next PM?

Over a few hours on Saturday night, Australia saw the ALP achieve a historic victory as the Coalition sank to a comprehensive defeat. Lenore Taylor and Mike Ticher join Reged Ahmad to dissect what this means

Are you better off than you were three years ago?

Starmer's Labour are making April Fools of us all BUT it's no joke! #Taiwo Owatemi #National Insurance #CouncilTax #costofliving In this hard-hitting video, Jon Gaunt exposes how Starmer's Labour Party is making April Fools of the UK public with their broken promises and misleading claims. Despite Rachel Reeves boasting that we will all be £500 better off soon, the reality is far worse. According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), Starmer's policies will result in devastating cost increases for households across the country. The National Insurance (NI) hike alone will wipe out at least £565 from family budgets. Additionally, Gaunty explores the reality of rising costs, from council tax increases (£90 on average) to soaring water bills (£123), and the impact of higher energy bills (£111), broadband fees (£21.99), and road tax (£5). To top it off, TV licenses are going up by a fiver, all while Starmer and his Chancellor boast about the £500 households will allegedly feel "better off." Meanwhile a SENIOR Labour MP is using taxpayers' cash to pay “pet rent” so she can live with her cockapoo dog in London. Taiwo Owatemi is helping to get £5 billion of cuts to disability benefits through parliament for Labour at the same time as a bombshell document reveals that the Coventry North West MP is charging taxpayers £900 a year extra in rent so her pet pooch Bella can live with her. She is Jon Gaunt's Local MP and Gaunty believes that she is a self-serving pig with her snout in the trough! Meanwhile, Starmer is parading around the world as if he's a global statesman while failing to address the real issues at home. This video highlights the stark contrast between the Labour leader's rhetoric and the harsh reality faced by hard-working families. From higher taxes to his obsession with banning ninja knives, Starmer's priorities are out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people. As we prepare for even more tax hikes, it's clear that Starmer and his Chancellor are only fooling themselves—and us.

Around the world, soaring inflation has pushed voters to turn on incumbent governments. But one country bucked the trend – Mexico, where the leftwing Morena party recorded a landslide victory. The key to its success? A policy platform built on minimum salary rises, labour reforms and price controls on staples. So are there lessons to be learnt from the country's success for Anthony Albanese's Labor party? Senior business reporter Jonathan Barrett tells Nour Haydar why so many governments didn't survive high inflation, and what Labor could learn from the country that bucked the trend You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

We are all being lied to about the cost of living crisis and in this episode, Rob reveals the things you need to know and learn to protect yourself and your money. He explains why the central banks need you to be financially dependent on them and how the money system works against the average person. He also shares the real cause of the financial difficulties in the UK and why it’s not what we are being told. KEY TAKEAWAYS The system wants and needs people to be financially dependent. The central banks need you to be in debt so they can make money from your interest. Schools do not teach the money education that would make people financially independent because it does not serve the system. We are not in a cost of living crisis, we are in a government debt crisis. Governments are knowingly creating debt and this is then passed on to the general population via loans, increased taxation and quantitively easing. Previous governments have wasted a lot of money on things like lockdown and poor buying choices. The only way to beat the system is to learn how the system works Money does not make you rich, you need assets and other ways to build wealth through investing. BEST MOMENTS "What matters is what you know, I believe the more you learn the more you earn as long as you are learning about money” “The central banks make money from debt” “Governments create debt, it’s a strategy” “We've got a debt crisis not a cost of living crisis" "The only way to beat the system is to learn how the system works" VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Labour has eked ahead in the polls as the cost of living crisis bites. The latest Taxpayers' Union Curia poll has Labour overtaking National, the latter falling to 29.6%, against Labour's four percentage point jump, to 30.9%. Ginny Andersen told Ryan Bridge that it's an indication the economy is biting. She says that New Zealanders aren't really getting what they voted for, and that's coming through in the polls. Health is the other big ticket issue impacting the polls, Andersen says, which is why Luxon is trying to head it off by putting Simeon Brown in charge of the portfolio.

In October, federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the peak of inflation has passed, and the worst of the recent economic turbulence was behind Australia.

A heatwave has hit eastern Australia. As Sydneysiders struggled through the heat, the premier, Chris Minns, asked residents to cut back on their power use to prevent parts of the city from plunging into a blackout.

This week Greece saw workers in the public and the private sector go on strike, demanding better wages in the face of rising costs across the board. This comes despite Greece's economic success story, whether it's achieving investment grade or outperforming its Eurozone partners, and as the government announced it is set to make another early repayment of €5 billion of bailout-era loans. Nikos Vettas, the general director of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE) and a professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the state of the economy - from the cost of living crisis and wages to debt reduction.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Thousands in Greece strike to protest soaring living costsGreece to repay chunk of bailout debt earlyNew budget includes support measures over 1 bln eurosPASOK becomes main opposition after leftist party collapseAnkara irked by European maritime map

Irish house prices are now well in excess of their pre-financial crisis peaks. Is the only thing that will get them down an old fashioned recession? More supply is certainly needed but it is far from clear that more houses equals lower prices - other things are not equalWhy do we still bang on about a cost of living crisis when inflation has fallen towards zero? If not actually zero. May be the answer is really simple: in the US (and probably elsewhere) food and energy price inflation reached 40% in 2022 - higher even than during the great energy shock of 1973. Europe has more problems than lower interest rates can solveEven if people have more letters after their name than are in their name, they are still capable of saying daft things.
