    Research reveals the costly credit card mistake most Australians are making

    I remember asking my step daughter many years ago (when my husband and I had to bail her out after she had too much on her credit card) did she know what interest rate she was paying. She did not have a darn clue. Financial literacy should be taught at school before they leave to get their...

    This Aussie's experience with an online trailer sale will make you think twice before you click 'buy'

    Research reveals the costly credit card mistake most Australians are making

    I am the same...pay in full. Living beyond peoples' means is the problem these days They even put holidays on credit and are paying for it long after the thrill of the holiday is over. I personally could not live like that. If I don't have the money I would not go until I did.

    Health insurer to close 5 branches, cites customer shift to digital platforms

    I have been doing some investigating and found this on this site. They did not mention in the letter that you could do this. I hope it is still available. The only problem is if you do not have a computer and printer. I imagine you could surely ring them and get them to post out some claim...

    I am absolutely furious and when I received the letter informing me of the closure of the Mandurah branch I voiced my displeasure in an email to them. Fortunately, I do have a smart phone and of course I am computer literate but why should I have to go to the bother of taking photos of my...

    Yes agree. They were doing it it one time with the small tins of tuna. They were mixing in another flavour which was NOT on special.

    Kmart product sparks outrage due to tiny detail that 'tricked' many shoppers

    I find it deceptive: even though it may say "globe not included". Should have said in "large" letters on the front "for illustation purposes only....globe to be purchased separately"! I showed the picture to my husband and he thought it was as shown also.

    Warning issued against high-risk scam websites advertising incredible sales

    The tip about having a designated credit card with a low limit is a great idea and I have never got into any trouble (touch wood) by using this card through Paypal. There is no way I will hand over our main credit card for anything to do with online shopping. I like the fact that Paypal is...
