    ‘No second chances’: Avoiding retirement money mistakes you can’t undo

    It's 13 weeks prior to your birthday, same for everyone. Why was yours different, to make an assumption, maybe you put in the wrong birth date. Maybe mixed up the day and month. Would have been easy to sort out with a phone call to Centrelink or a visit to their office. My wife's was applied for...

    Mum rallies locals to push for changes in her state: 'I think it would make a huge difference'

    Well you live in a fantasy world don't you. Expecting kids to always do the right thing, especially when clowning around with their friends.

    Either you are doing something wrong or the cashier is. Go see your bank and ask them to show you how to set up your card. Obviously you can still use your savings account.

    Why would a company "care for you"? That's ridiculous to think they would. It's a business, their business is to make money, keep shareholders happy.

    Right, so spend half an hour and go do it again somewhere else. And exactly which "somewhere else" are you going? Another Coles, another Woolworths, and have the same issue. hahahaha

    Here we go, now the supermarkets are forcing people to use cards. Well that's what many will say, BUT the truth is cash usage is dropping significantly so they are not having as many cash enabled machines. Makes perfect sense, those cash machines cost far more to run, have more reliability...

    Million-dollar retirement? Here's why it’s not actually a must-have

    Expat shares astonishment over common Aussie trait in public: 'I am blown away'

    Maybe this bloke needs to travel in his own country, plenty of service stations allow you to fill and pay later in the US.

    Left the windows down a smidge? That tiny gap could mean a $3,096 fine

    More common sense that alludes people.
