    Show Us the Receipts: Watchdog Puts Super Funds Under the Microscope

    I only have $15,000 left in my super account. I've had to use my super for the past 18months while waiting for Centrelink to grant me the aged pension. I kept putting in forms and after 12 weeks being told to resubmit. Looks like my kids are going to have to help support me in later life.

    You won’t believe the shocking message these elderly women found on their restaurant bill in New York

I would have thought the owners wouldn't want their business to have a bad reputation. I wouldn't be surprised if their clientele...

    We're hearing of more and more deaths this year than ever before. I used to watch Adam when he played for the Eagles. He was so agile and accurate with his kicking. RIP

    What’s one tiny thing that made your week better?

    I finally got to spend a couple of days with my brother who lives in Brisbane and I live in country WA. We went out for a coffee and relaxed for a while. It was a whirlwind visit but at least I had time with him and reminisce.

    Woolworths shopper makes $52 mistake with order and reveals how to avoid it

    I always buy tins on tuna with corn and mayonnaise but instead I receive tuna with lemon and black pepper. I am highly allergic to citrus so I tick the box so they know not to substitute.

    'Is it unreasonable to refuse a handmade gift from my niece?'

    You should definitely put your career first. She is your niece, not your daughter. The only ones not thinking about anyone else but themselves is you. You already have something in the making so wear that and enjoy your night

    Better Late Than Never? Why Delaying Your Age Pension Claim Could Cost You Thousands

    I applied for the aged pension a number of times and sent through the necessary information they asked me for. Was told they had everything they needed and were working on it. Next communication said the time had run out, the paperwork didn't arrive and I had to apply again. This went on over...

    Beachgoers Shocked by 200kg Discovery—What Every Aussie Needs to Know Before Their Next Visit

    I don't go to the beach anymore but when I walk my dog, I'll pick up any rubbish I see. I get disgusted and ashamed of people who drop their litter right next to the rubbish bins instead of just lifting up the lid

    What Was Hidden Inside 62,000kg of Thai Food That Landed This Woman in Jail?
