    I use Afterpay, but never let it get out of control, I diligently pay it fortnightly, it has let me buy items that you can pay over four fortnightly payments, it’s a great way to buy things without a large initial outlay, but you have to buy within your capabilities to pay back on time. It’s...

    Popular electric vehicle explosion left firefighter's face burned

    It’s pretty precarious owning an EV, not sure they are trustworthy enough atm. Pretty scary to think you have one parked in your garage close to your family, bit nerve racking going to bed at night hoping the battery is not going to catch alight. Once alight they are pretty hard to extinguish...

    Honestly this is bureaucracy gone mad, in this day and age of rental and home ownership crisis, this law banning the man from staying on his OWN land be it in a bus or a caravan is ludicrous, so now even if you own the land you are being told you can’t use it unless it falls in line with the...
