Thank goodness I won’t live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes.
The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
No one can afford to be sick anymore. At R15.00 a day in the hospital, it’s too rich for my blood.
There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly R2.00 a night to stay in a hotel
To make ends meet, many women now have to work
I’ll tell you one thing. If things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for R10.00
Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before R2,000.00 will only buy a used one.
Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 4 cents just to mail a letter?
If they raise the minimum wage to R1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.
When I first started driving, who would have thought petrol would someday cost 20 cents a litre.
I never thought I’d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They’re even making electric typewriters now.
