The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised interest rates for the eighth consecutive time, taking the country’s cash rate to a level not seen in 10 years. The RBA raising rate will reach 3.1%. The last time the rate exceeded 3% was in 2012.

Meanwhile, inflation is running high. How will Australians face the upcoming expensive Christmas?
