    Don’t miss out! IGA’s new rewards could put $4,000 cash back in your pocket

    Ive always shopped IGA, especially when my kids worked there (double points on loyalty card). Sometimes when money is thin on the ground, usually at the end of the month, before pay day, I will use my points to pay for groceries. I've been doing that for over 20 years. So this scheme really is...

    Credit card perks under threat as regulators eye changes to payment rules

    I'm waiting for the SBS doco "The People vs Robodebt. I think it's due to begin on 24th September. Those responsible for that despicable fraud should not still be walking amongst us, they should be locked up, preferably out in the desert somewhere, with no visitors.

    ANZ hit with record $240 million penalty: When banks betray the dead and the desperate

    I saw the writing on the wall with ANZ around the time my house was sold. So as soon as settlement was done and dusted, mortgage gone, I closed my ANZ account. The day after all was settled there was a small balance of around $80 left in the account, but the day I closed my account, that $80 was...

    Credit card perks under threat as regulators eye changes to payment rules

    WARNING - MAJOR - SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC RANT AHEAD - The banks don't actually part with any money at all for loans/mortgages. The money comes out of your "STRAWMAN" account (created and stored by the Vatican (all birth certificates worldwide) when you were born - your sur-name is written in ALL...

    Credit card perks under threat as regulators eye changes to payment rules

    This is just another step towards Digital Currency. Once they have us all on Digital ID (through the backdoor bill for U16's - coming to you soon in December) then they can scrap cash, and we are all royally screwed. They will be monitoring every single transaction, once we hit our "carbon"...

    Sneaky new iPhone scam hijacks Apple's own email system to empty bank accounts

    Ive received emails like this one. I knew they were scams immediately, why? Because i don't have an icloud account, and i closed my paypal account years ago. Same as the emails from "Telstra", I am not with telstra. I just mark them as spam, and block sender. I still receive 2 or 3 per week...

    Reading this article has reminded me I need to update my Will, and I will be having a discussion with my best friend about being named as Executor of my Will, and also naming others as subsequent Executors in case I survive my No. 1 choice.

    Popular yoghurt recall puts families on alert after children fall ill

    For the last few months i haven't been able to find Cocobella yoghurt in IGA or HFM, which was frustrating because the natural one was the only yoghurt I like the taste of, I am not dairy intolerant, but i discovered it when my (plant based) daughter came to visit. Now they have done the recall...

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

    Yes, there was a reason why people used to say "safe in the arms of the Lord" if you got a government job (incl - MP's). The mongrels are definitely "Pigs with their snouts in the trough". 31st of August 2025 - remember this date, its the date the whole of Australia stands up, no matter where...

    Nurse loses $460,000 after 36 years of work, raising urgent questions about superannuation safety

    Yes, I'm now tempted to pull my super out and put most of it into gold and silver (started buying Au & Ag back in 2020, when i started to see what the "plandemic" was all about. My purchases have increased in value quite a substantial amount. I too am tempted to mention which "bullion"...

    Are you ready for Albo’s bold new cash plan? Here’s how it could change how you pay every day

    I once filled up with petrol, just as the internet went down, and the pumps turned off. I got to the queue to pay for what i had put in my car already, and 3 people in front of me could not pay because they had no cash on them. Luckily I did have cash so was able to pay for my petrol. I...

    Are you ready for Albo’s bold new cash plan? Here’s how it could change how you pay every day

    I do the same. I get paid monthly, and as soon as my pay hits my bank a/c i withdraw enough for groceries, entertainment, petrol etc. for the whole month, leaving enough in the account for bill payments.

    The RBA has cut rates for the third time this year. More relief may be on the way

    I boycotted both of those around 15-20 years ago. I only shop at local farmers markets, I buy meat online from 'Our Cow', IGA & on occasion, HFM (I do click and collect, so i avoid the temptation to buy more than I need).

    The government has asked for bold proposals. Maybe it’s time to consider taxing the family home

    And this sentence sums it up nicely "I believe that anything like this would decrease home ownership. " That, my friends is what this is aimed at doing "YOU WILL OWN NOTHING, AND BE HAPPY". Another step closer to 15 minute cities (take note of where they are building concrete high rise boxes)...

    The RBA has cut rates for the third time this year. More relief may be on the way

    I sold my home 5 yrs ago, and bought a lease in an over 55 village. So I have no mortgage. I still work 3 days a week (same job for 9 yrs), but I find I'm frequently digging into my savings to make ends meet each month. I've cut all non-essential spending but it still doesn't help the budget...

    Tap-and-Go Nation: Inside Australia’s $160 Billion Cashless Boom

    YOU HAVE TO LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE.......The push towards Digital ID's and Credit Scores (think "China") is what this is all about. It is about CONTROL. Once they have finished herding everyone into their "15-minute cities", they will then be able to control what you spend your "credit...

    Major Aussie bank cuts 1,500 jobs, pushes cashless future

    I shop at my local IGA, and there is no extra charge for taking out cash. That has more to do with the owner of the Store than the bank. The bigger charge for me is when you "tap" a card instead of inserting it into the eftpos machine. Most of the time i use cash.

    Major Aussie bank cuts 1,500 jobs, pushes cashless future

    Yes, just imagine how the folks up in Northern NSW are coping with the flooding, power outages, no access to fuel, then to top it off no way to pay for anything if they haven't got cash on them. We are about to cop that weather here in Southern NSW too, so go get some cash out people.
