    Seniors in the red: Over one million Aussies max out credit cards amid cost-of-living crunch

    I must admit don’t like using my credit card. I draw out cash and use that. I don’t feel I’m spending my money when I use a credit card card. It works for me using cash.

    I was literally there today and it was a f****** nightmare!”: Why Kmart’s chaos can’t be ignored

    No I’ve not experienced such disarray but I can imagine how it can occur quite quickly and easily. If the product is a real steal then everyone wants it and especially with shoes they’ll be throwing them everywhere to get what they want and what fits them. People are so greedy when it comes...

    If you’ve ever worried about getting older in the bush…this will hit home

    Aged care workers are paid a pittance for the important job they do. It must be such a difficult role to fulfill and thankless at times. Perhaps it would be prudent to raise their pay Maybe profit is more important than ensuring carers get what they need to continue with this essential...
