    ‘It’s not liveable’ – Renter discovers dangerous find in their property

    Landlords definitely have it good right now. We have been waiting since March for them to fix our lounge room light, it has a transformer so it needs an electrician. I was actually standing below it when it blew! We did try a new bulb, despite the fact we knew it had to be more than that from...

    What's this bizarre $2000 mistake? Woman discovers a ‘surprise’ in her online order from Kmart

    Yeah, they do this often. They mark everything as available but as they pack the order they find it isn't. So they basically cancel and refund it, usually with no explanation

    Will the upcoming Buy Now Pay Later regulations affect your favourite payment options?

    As a disability pensioner, I started with afterpay. I did get myself in over my head in the beginning but then common sense struck me! I needed to make a purchase from Amazon, but they only offered Zip, so they I signed up for that too. Luckily, as tempting and as easy as it is to use these to...

    This clever Aussie mum DIYs a $15 Kmart bottle into a designer lookalike!

    I love my Cricut machine! From so many things I can create, besides gifts and cards, no appliance in my home has been safe from being named and has its very own decorative vinyl label! LOL

    Think twice before transferring! This banking mistake almost cost a tradie $5,900

    Suncorp... say no more. I worked in their insurance sales department, however not making it through my 3 months probation because I couldn't sell something I knew was morally wrong.

    Is the era of smoking coming to an end with this new legislation? Tobacco industry set for a seismic shift!

    I tried vaping in one of my many attempts to quit, thinking it would be a safer, healthier option but still, I didn't like it and when I actually sat down and researched vaping I stopped. I had been vaping for not even a week, and despite the money I'd spent on those products, I immediately went...

    Company fined $375,000 for unfairly overcharging Centrelink recipients

    This is often the case for me when I'm trying to purchase a used car. Because of my disability pension being my only source of income, most lenders will reject my application based on that alone. The fact I have an excellent credit score and no defaults and could comfortably afford repayments...

    Is the era of smoking coming to an end with this new legislation? Tobacco industry set for a seismic shift!

    I wish I had been strong enough to NOT continue smoking after a similar event! So much regret and money wasted. But I haven't given up on quitting! It's not the right time for me with my mental health, I have a lot of challenges right now. I once had a psychiatrist tell me NOT to quit! She...

    Scammers increasingly targeting online sellers

    My partner and I were talking about Ebay this morning about the postage. Sellers can send the information to Australia Post that the item has been sent, however, that doesn't mean it's physically been dispatched. Just notifying them of a parcel to post

    Is the era of smoking coming to an end with this new legislation? Tobacco industry set for a seismic shift!

    I'm a smoker. The current images on packaging, etc have done nothing to deter me from smoking. I see it as a waste of government money!

    Scammers increasingly targeting online sellers

    I am currently trying to sell a used couch on Facebook Marketplace. Within an hour of putting the ad on, I had 3 people try to use this PayID scam. The email address was from a Gmail account, so it wasn't even a real bank email address! The 4th person, after I changed the ad stating no PayID...
