    Clearly the solution is for people to stop buying food! Do you know howuch money you save when you stop eating?

    But in all seriousness you raise an important point. Housing unaffordability has been raised as an emerging issue in healthcare. Housing costs are pricing healthcare staff out of the suburbs their facilities are in, creating issues with on-call times for emergencies. Hospitals only have a small amount of on-call rooms available so it isn’t feasible for everyone on-call to stay at work.

      Family of four, our weekly groceries are coming in at around $500/week. You jest, but food is genuinely a significant cost.

      We rarely eat out. Because when we do, even a modest meal somewhere cheap and cheerful is going to set us back over $120.
