    ‘We Were Meant to Be Debt‑Free’: The Mortgage Burden No One Warned Retirees About

    I didn't have two weeks to read this all, much too long. People run into trouble when they don't stick to the plan and use the redraw facility too much to live above their means, also in Australia we write CHEQUES to the bank not checks.

    Rising cost of dining out could have serious consequences–up to 25 per cent more on your bill!

    If venues were adding 25% surcharge it should be clearly displayed, then if people were silly enough to walk as most sensible people would they can pay the charge. However I for one would not done there and the restaurant would have no sale at all.

    Is it unreasonable to ask for a fifth of my mum's inheritance?

    How can you say she receives nothing, if she is the full time carer she should at least receive the Carers pension or at the very least the Carer's allowance, if she is not receiving any benefit see social security, if that fails move back to your own house and let your mother sort it out.

    122 million for a pool, I bet they still want to charge those silly enough to want a swim when they go through the gate, I think it's time these poor ratepayers took a no confidence vote on the council, if everyone withheld their rates it might just bring things to a head. They can't evict every...
