In this segment of La Trobe Live, La Trobe Media and Communication students Vincia Montalto, Alyssa Sayboualay, and Mitchell White explore how inflation and the rise of interest rates have increased daily expenses, making it hard on students that live out-of-home.

With no indication as to when the cost of living will stop increasing, we turn to La Trobe’s financial advisor and students for their take on the current financial crisis affecting many students.

Reporter Vincia Montalto goes to the Agora to talk to the owners of IGA and Bachelor of Coffee for their take on increased prices.
