I was on a savings goal to get a deposit to buy a house to be able to raise my family. I worked hard for the past few years. Then the house prices went out of reach, I got hit with a massive tax bill, school and daycare fees skyrocketing, power prices going higher, rent increasing 10%-15% until now there's barely anything left. I've given up. I don't work with any motivation now I just do the bare minimum. What's the point in working hard when government and landlords take all your money?
