    Remember when cash was king? Some experts say it could all vanish in just three years

    Actually major outages seem to happen during the day especially here in WA and if you don't have cash you can't buy anything. Always carry cash for just that purpose as when you least expect it, that's when it will happen. Cash will always have a place in society and the majority of us are not...

    Dishwasher mistakes costing seniors hundreds and the unexpected items safe to wash inside

    We only recently got a dishwasher when we renovated our kitchen a couple of years ago and I love it and now that I have to sell and move will be making sure there is room at least to buy one even if one is not in the house. We noticed a difference in water and electricity usage and great not to...

    What do you think is the worst part about living in Australia? Locals share their confessions

    I came over from NZ with my two daughters and an ex partner back in 1987 to Perth and have stayed here and wouldn't live anywhere else. Still have 1 daughter here with her family so that makes life perfect. Cost of living here is not great but reckon it is biting everywhere so we just have to...

    Landlord tries to charge tenant $312 for having hair that falls out in the shower... Here's why that's completely wrong

    I don't think everyone does. I do but alot of younger people don't. And people look without seeing gunk in their drains. Regular easy cleans can save massive blockages.

    Auto-tipping is creeping into Aussie dining—fair reward or sneaky fee?

    You can't really agree up front as you don't know if you are going to get a decent meal ir decent service and you shouldn't have to tip for decent. You expect that anyway as that is what your basic bill is for. It needs to be amazing service and a brilliant meal to deserve a tip. It is not an...

    Auto-tipping is creeping into Aussie dining—fair reward or sneaky fee?

    I definitely don't think tipping should be a regular thing here. Wages are high enough to prevent this practice and how do we even know it goes to the staff and not straight to the owners. A very slippery slope I reckon.

    $788 million in sales! Why this small chain is winning where Coles and Woolies aren’t

    That's a great idea. I am just putting my home on the market so will wait until I have sold and found my new place and do this.

    No dog deserves this—so why are drivers still doing it?

    They should be banned from owning pets that's for sure. Arrogant and selfish and no respect for their animal's safety and welfare.

    It’s not just the prices: Shoppers reveal why they really love this budget grocer

    We have some really great independent fruit and vegetable places here in Perth but they are also very expensive so nothing like what these ones are saying they sell stuff for.

    $788 million in sales! Why this small chain is winning where Coles and Woolies aren’t

    It's nice to hear small family supermarkets doing well. None over here in WA that know of. Definitely not interested in Spud shed I think their fruit and veg whenever I have been there are rubbish so not my shop of choice.

    Payments jump delivers welcome financial relief for pensioners

    It's interesting that the electricity has gone up more but we are all getting alot less this year across the nation in rebates, I wonder how they decide that and yet the cost of living across all aspects has continued to rise and make life tough for most. There appears to be no rhyme or reason...

    Today’s receipts are twice as long...but half as useful! Here's what's missing

    It's all very well having these apps on your phone and storing receipts etc but how long before your phone no longer operates as efficiently as it used to. The more stuff on it the more problems you seem to get as far as I am concerned. You need to keep phones cleared of all this extra clutter...

    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    Those above 1.5million and higher I doubt would qualify for the pension so it would not matter what the deeming rate is. I could be wrong, I haven't looked it up but pretty sure I am roughly right.

    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    Definitely should bring politicians in line with everyone else before hitting the more vulnerable age group. Shame on them. In reality they are probably making sure they can keep funding themselves.

    Aeroplane toilets found to carry five dangerous pathogens entering Australia

    Another reason to stay at home I reckon. I don't take antibiotics often but would absolutely hate to end up with something that couldn't be touched with one or two courses of antibiotics. You hear of people's lives unravelling who this happens to, not a happy thought.

    Free range eggs is one thing I find cheaper at Woolworths than Coles and I buy the 800gm ones.

    Princess Anne certainly pulls her weight always and calls a spade a spade. Good on her, need more like her. A shame she did not have more imput in Andrew's upbringing, he may have turned oyt differently.
