    Remember saving up before buying? This $19,000 Afterpay bill shows this generation’s doing the opposite

    The problem is not Afterpay, the problem is the people who can’t stop buying and then find they have regret or do not have the ability to pay it off. I am on a carers pension and use Afterpay. I use the Afterpay credit card, I have a $4000 limit, which can never be increased. I never make a...

    I no longer donate to any op shops. I used to shop at our local shops regularly, but when I saw the ridiculous prices on my donated goods, decided to stop donating. Instead, I now have a garage sale once every 6 months. I sell cheaply and buy something for myself or my son. We are both on...

    'It makes it hard to feed your family healthy food': Families lament over supermarket prices across the country

    I went to shop at my local farmers market. I only shop for 2 and occasionally my grandson. The fruit and vegetables and assorted pastries and dips etc, looked so nice and fresh and so tempting but so expensive. It was only cheaper to buy if you became a member, usually $100 per year.

    Wow, these articles are just too long to read for people with casual interest. It is amazing in a time when people are crying out for houses to rent, that a tenant could not be found for this brand new home.
