I think sometimes people see an income of $140,000 range and they think "WOW" and it goes to their head. The unwary believe that they can just spend, spend and spend with no consequences. At least they woke up, before they got into real financial trouble. There is a silver lining in every story.

My heart bleeds for the three of you. How I wish I had that problem. I am working fulltime, and my income is below $60,000 a year. If you are struggling on $140,000 a year, then on my income, I would have no chance. I understand that mortgages are through the roof with many homes in the capital...

My advice is it is never easy. Bite the bullet and down size. Go through all of your long lost and stored box's and get rid of all of those things you just don't need. Get a few garage sales in early but you need to start ASAP. "Parting is such sweet sorrow", don't be fooled it is never easy.:)

Wringers I remember my mother had one on her washing machine, that was what people would use before the electric cloth's driers. Before that, clothes were wrung out by hand.

I do not trust anything to do with "Cryptocurrency". Too many scammers taking people for a ride with the promise of fast easy money. You would think people would wake up to the scammers, if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is.

We used to buy powdered milk when our son was little and continued to use it because if kept longer in the pantry and without refrigeration. We found there was a taste difference; you just get used to the taste. However, if you go back to one or the other you can tell the difference. I am not...

You would think with all of this computer tech that processing disability claims would be more efficient. Not to mention the lack of staff. I find it unbelievable that things have to come to an almost grinding halt before someone sound the alarm bells and anything is done to help these...

You would think that if any drug available today that may help keep people especially children out of our over worked hospitals and their staff. This benefit alone should be enough of reason to fast track this sort of drug and reduce the drain on our overworked healthcare and hospital systems...

We do not use any of the online shopping apps for groceries because we enjoy our shopping experience in store, looking at what we are buying, rather than relying on someone else to pick our grocery items for us. There is a personal aspect of meeting/ chatting with the staff at the checkouts in...

That list does not leave many candidates to vote for. Name me one politician that will not lie through their teeth or at least bed the truth just to get your vote.

I really think that financial institutions need to hold some accountability for these scams. If a transactions or new account that is out of the ordinary from previous history of the account holder, then why are these institutions not querying them. All it takes is a message or phone call to...

I think that the banks and other financial institutions could also bring in a system where the money transfers are delayed so the bank or financial institution can ensure that the money transfers are legitimate. If the bank or financial institution messaged or contacted those involved in larger...

We have seen some Aldi mincemeat that appeared discolored. However, the meat has never smelled off when we open the packaging. I understand that meat processing vacuum seal and fill the package with nitrogen. The gas reduces anerobic (air loving) bacteria from multiplying (feeding on the meat)...

While agree with forcing pet owners to be responsible for their pet's aggression. If you have a pet dog of any breed and someone breaks into your home or property and your pet dog bites and injures the person committing the crime. I would hope such legislation does not cover would be thieves and...

We get these sorts of messages also and I have told my wife and son to report them to the ACCC "Scam Watch". Do not trust any unsolicited emails or messages. If you are expecting a message, then use a trusted source to contact the person or company and verify that they did send you the message...
