    Are you on track? See the average savings balances across Australian age groups

    Why, I'll tell you why. Because we didn't have credit cards. Today's generation want everything now. They don't know how to save. They consider concerts, trips overseas, 4WDs a necessity to take their kids to school, Even all those take away coffees are a necessity. They don't settle for a 3x1...

    Pensioners may benefit from $4,000 boost from Centrelink soon. Here's how to qualify

    Savvy Aussies are slashing their grocery bills in 2025. Are you missing out on these money-saving secrets?

    Look on the bottom shelf for cheaper prices. I have mentioned before Nescafe coffee sachets. A box of 26 is $11. The normal size box of 10 is just under $8. Even when they are on special it is cheaper to buy the big box.

    New ban risks costing Australians $140,000, experts express fear

    Banks should be forced to absorb these fees. They have slashed their overheads. Closing branches, sacking staff, etc. They make astronomical profits because of this and then charge us fees for using their cards that actually save them a fortune. How can they justify this.

    You dont have to pay the surcharge at Aldi. It's been explained on here on numerous occasions how to avoid it. Don't tap your card. Insert it and press savings. Simple. Even easier, pay cash.

    Pensioners may benefit from $4,000 boost from Centrelink soon. Here's how to qualify

    How generous of them NOT!! It's a pity they just didn't pay seniors an amount they could live on instead of trying to push people back into working. It doesn't matter which party is in power.Neither party offered pensioners any relief in this recent election. Forget the power payment...
