    Say goodbye to cords! Here’s why more Aussies are switching to 5G home internet

    Perhaps Vella will keep us updated over time as more people sign on. I live in Melbourne and only get 1 bar on 4G, 5G almost impossible.

    Electricity prices just jumped again! This switch could save you up to $390

    I challenge that you haven't had a bill in ten years! UNLESS you are completely off grid you are paying a supply fee for every day you are connected, using power or not.

    The Demon Drink

    I enjoy my 4 - 5pm glass of scotch on ice each day to unwind a bit, followed by a largish glass of red while cooking then eating dinner, eac day. At 90 I think I earn it and apart from enjoying the taste the alcohol does relax me a little after a day of caring.

    I travelled a similar route, but by age 79 with an ailing wife I opted for the village, we are now 86 & 90 and I'm her full time carer, with package help, and feel I made the right choice at the right time.

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    Not all are created equal, the so called life style villages are the worst for rip offs, although most are well run and have great facilities. If you are alone, and the village progresses to aged care, then once gone who cares? The village I have lived in for the past 11 years is self managed...

    What’s something you’ve always wanted to learn, but never quite got around to?

    I once had a camel ride in Broome, it was the most painful experience I have ever experienced, my legs were never designed to stretch that far! That sunset ride destroyed the next three days of my holiday! Incidentally my wife loved it.
