another American idea

I don't believe anything will change until people start to live within their means. I know people who would not give up anything to help themselves e.g smoking drinking and many other things that would help with their costs of living. To me, it seems that the people who need the help are single...

While it seems that we are always being warned of doom and gloom with interest rates etc I can remember the days when we had a 13% interest rate on our home/ We had 4 children so it was wise to be careful. Fortunately we did not smoke and my husband only occasionally would have an alcoholic...

I also have a number of 50 c coins plus quite a number of other currency. Might have to see what other is valuable.

I was on a flight some years ago when the people in front were most disrespectful. In front of me was a man and he reclined his seat so that I could not even have my dinner plate on the table. I asked the stewardess if she could ask him to put his seat up a little and she told me she could not...

Thanks Suzanne I always check and am about to do this today but in the past I have fund the Seniors insurance much dearer. My insurance has gone up just over $200 so not happy with that. I realise now that if we had left car insurance in my husband's name then he would have still had no claim...

My car is due for insurance right now so I just did a compare but honestly they want so much information I gave up . It asked for when I first had a license and I have been driving for 68 years and my only accident was when I first started and it was only minor damage to my car and did not...

I have just received my car insurance and it too has gone up around $200 . I only drive about 5000 km these days and have not had an accident since I first started driving years ago. Because I tried to find a cheaper insurance some years ago although the premium was cheaper it has ended up that...

I am with Bendigo Bank and recently I have found that the bank is really busy as I walk past doing my shopping. No way do I want to not have cash. This way of no cash is why so many people get into difficulty of over spending on their cards.

About time but it should be available to all checkout staff as it is in the UK.

I am with all those above who made or make their own foods. We older people did this and still do. No need for any fancy gadgets etc. One thing I have always done is to boil up the old chicken carcas for soup and freeze until needed. So many ways to save money .

Why bring Matt into this story?

I agree with Aegira29 as I have found the same attitude. I had to complain that things were worrying me for some time before my doctor decided to offer me a scan.

WHAT! Fancy being told you are scanning CORRECTLY what a waste of the attendant's time. or is this a misprint?

Get rid of all these reality shows they are all becoming worse and I only see the promos as I wont watch them. I did watch My Kitchen rules but was sick of the nasty way these people act so gave that away but the rest are just rubbish
