I watched that program and I think many were shocked by how well established the 37 year old lady was. Nothing but admiration for her. She is an educated woman who knew what to do to set herself up. If I had my day over again I would have taken more interest than I did in superannuation and...

We are fully self funded and for the last year I have been getting the Carer's Allowance as it is the only thing we qualify for. It is a very small amount and in no way reflects the duties I have to perform for my husband with memory loss. As well as cook, shopper, chauffeur, nurse I now know...

It was all spelt out to us in the contract documents so we knew exactly the terms. When the time comes for the unit to be vacated the payout figure is given to the estate within 90 days less the amount we know will be deducted. I honestly do not care about the payout figure; we just want to...

We live in a "not for profit" RAAF village in Western Australia. Have been here 8 years this September. Would not change a thing. We have a welfare officer full time who is fantastic. My husband has dementia and twice a month there is a two hour period where he taken off my hands and looked...

Honestly Dr Chris Brown!! Words fail me sorry!

5 years before we both retired we boosted our super contributions from four per cent to ten per cent. We have been retired 34 years now and managing fine.

At my age (and two marriages) there is no way on earth I would contemplate marrying again. However, like some in my retirement village (who have lost their partners) I would have no problems with dating again but live separately and all finances are preserved for both parties. Everyone is...

How many fish and chip shops and restaurants are labelling country of origin? " Mandatory country-of-origin labelling for seafood, including in fish and chip shops, was introduced in Australia in 2023. While the Northern Territory had been requiring this since 2008, a national approach was...

We are fully self funded and the only time I have had inter-action with Centrelinke was when I was granted a Carers "Allowance" (not pension) of $159 a fortnight to care for my husband with onset dementia. After that experience I am glad I do not deal with them on a regular basis

Totally agree with you gordon1940...no asset backing at all. Why do I always think Ponzi scheme when I hear cryptocurrency.?? I see where POTUS is exploiting this as well. Quite disgusting in my view.

Not for me....it is nothing but a gamble as far as I am concerned. Others can do it but not me. I have enough funds to last me till I fall off the perch.

You reminded me. When I lived in the UK from 1969 to 1972 I was never sick once and the same when I lived in NZ. Must have been very healthy in those days.

That seems fair price to me. Of course depends on the type of fish you order.

I suppose the average person does not have a voice so that is why probably they speak out knowing they have a very wide audience.

Agree. I have no problem if there is a genuine reason to suspect crime is involved. Large sums going in and out of an account for one.
