I’m 75 soon to be 76 on a single pension and have no Super, no payouts from an ex husband etc….my only income is my single pension except I do a few hours every Thursday which tops up my single pension. My Unit is paid for as my last home I sold and made 3 times as much as I paid for it, which...

I shop at Aldi first and top up from Cole’s….i don’t drink coffee and I don’t buy pre packed food. My food is very simple however I always buy my fruit and veg from my local Fruit and Veg store as in Aldi and Cole’s the fruit and veg are not good. I can get most of my items from Aldi, except...

I haven’t had private health cover for over 20yrs…I’m 75yrs old on a single pension. I had to pay to have both cataracts done 2yrs ago, plus a blocked tear duct plus a trigger finger….it added up to around $15,000 all from money I had saved from my small job and from my pension when possible...

I agree that taking these drugs to lose weight is not a wise choice. Healthy eating along with regular exercise is the key to lose and maintain a good weight. I’m 75yrs old and have been eating healthy and working out with weights for over 40yrs and it’s paid off! I’m 157cm tall and weight...

My Dad passed away from prostrate cancer, he had a PSI test and the number was high however he never told my Mum and didn’t chase it up himself…from the time he was diagnosed till the time my Dad passed away was 3mths! PLEASE all men over no more than 50 go and get tested, it could literally...

Keep cash! every fortnight I take out enough cash to cover my food, fuel and any extras that may come up. I spend less this way and have cash on me to help others when possible. I don’t pay transaction fees from the times I do use my debit card, only the once a year charge..I do buy online...

I for one am very grateful for the Work Bonus….im 75 and I’ve been working a few hours a week for the last 3yrs….i have no Superannuation and very little savings, however I own my own home which is such a blessing. The Work Bonus has enabled me to pay for a couple of non life threatening...

I shop very little at Cole’s and almost never go to Woolworths….i eat mainly all fresh food and I’m not a neat eater, however for the things I can’t buy at Aldi (which for my needs is not much) I use my own shopping bags or if for whatever reason they won’t be big enough, I take a smaller sized...

I’m 75 and went back and did cleaning 3yrs ago….im fortunate as i own my own unit however i had to have a couple of small surgeries done over the past couple of years, i cant afford private cover so i saved out of my small bit of extra income to have them done, i wouldnt have been able to do my...

Oh! and yes don’t even get me started on Health Cover…I’m not able to afford private Health so once again whatever I need has to come from my pension plus the small amount I earn each week….over the last 2yrs I’ve had to SAVE for cataract surgery, blocked tear duct and a trigger finger to be...

This is such an insult….im on a single pension and I do a little bit of work each week to help me get by. Without this small amount of work I don’t know how id manage…I’m 75yrs of age and fortunately in very good health, however some people aren’t so fortunate, plus I own my house…it’s old...

Frankly Easter is not about Hot Cross buns, the bunnies or the eggs……it’s about the crucifixion of our Savour Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection….just like Christmas it’s nothing but a money making racket. Don’t feed the money making machine.

Use cash as it solves all these problems…!!

I’m just thankful that I haven’t drunk coffee for several years now, don’t do tea either….ill perhaps have a hot or cold chocolate and that’s it….plus I’ve saved a LOT of money. However I do feel for those who love their coffee….i wonder what else we’ll have to consider giving up next?? I guess...

No one wants to talk about “the elephant in the room” a certain jab that people had to have to keep their jobs a few years back is still causing all sorts of health issues including the heart? When are people going to wake up…just because they didn’t get their number called doesn’t mean that...
