    You can lose your home quickly enough with interest rate rises etc but when you actually can't afford to sevice the loan in the first place you can be forced to sell your home and end up losing lot little equity you had in the home in the first place or selling at a loss.

    Aussies face skyrocketing prices for essential staples

    Everything is going up in astronomical incriments and there is no end in sight. There used to be very few price increases each year but now they are non stop and some items get multiple in a year. We as consumers have absolutely no chance of keeping up or staying on top of the situation. It is...

    Seniors brace for a hit as the freeze ends—what it could mean for your pension payments

    Yes those affected by the deeming rate in my opinion have been lucky for the last few years to have both the lower rates of deeming and higher rates of actual interest realised so technically they have laughed all the way to the bank and should be thankful they have the funds to fall back on...

    307 products are cheaper now at Coles—but do you think it’s enough?

    I believe they didn't find any evidence of price gouging and collusion blah blah blah. So they can continue on their merry way and it cost the taxpayers millions. Really well done, NOT.

    307 products are cheaper now at Coles—but do you think it’s enough?

    I took my friend shopping yesterday and she commented on the ever increasing cost of groceries each week. She can afford it but if it keeps going even those that can will be struggling soon.

    Will you welcome these songbirds on your flight? Travellers put 'over the edge' over one song number

    Exactly, she would have had to have got permission from the crew and it is not ok. I can't imagine anything worse, not the pkace for it. In a park where you csn choose to stop and listen or walk away is fine but nit such a confined space.

    307 products are cheaper now at Coles—but do you think it’s enough?

    To be fair someone has to be first otherwise it is collusion. At least prices of some goods are going down but rearely is it anything I buy in either or not many items so does not make much difference.

    It tasted like 'Christmas', but it’s not even July—this treat brings back memories in every bite

    Definitely not for me, sounds way too sweet and don't like caramel like that. But I am sure there will be plenty of takers.

    Camping trips could cost $700 a week—how one petition fights to keep family holidays affordable

    It sounds to me NSW is out to make big bucks and doesn't care who misses out on camping because kf the high fees. There is already a cost of living crisis so finding excess money for any type of holiday is off the cards for so many and thjs proposal is just going to add to it. As they state the...

    ‘It’s a beauty’: Why this $40 budget cookware is winning hearts over $570 options

    We were given a large le creuset casserole that we could cook with on our fire and it's now ideal for going stovetop to oven. Had it almost 30 years now and still going strong.

    Authorities block Aussie traveller from flight, asks passenger to 'chill out'

    Speaking of carry on luggage I often have seen people take way in excess of what you are allowed and they get away with it and I am not talking parents with young children. I don't know how that happens, not worth the dilemma if you can't take it on board. And back to behaving badly I would...

    ‘Profound wound that cuts deep’: What Deborra-Lee Furness said about her split from Hugh Jackman

    Normal marriages are just as fickle. You don't have to be a celebrity to do the wrong thing. My ex has done the exact same thing after 28 years cheating and lying behind my back for several months with my former very good friend. I know exactly how Deborah feels. The betrayal is beyond hurtful...
