Yes. Planning for retirement starts at least 20 years before you actually stop working. Most people who complain have not done the hard yards & then expect everything handed to them for no effort. I know there are some sad cases of I'll health etc, but for the most part it's people's own lack of...

I agree. Life is full of choices & a large reason why many are in financial stress is due to the choices they have made. Financial choices made over many, many years will largely determine our finances later in life. It is about making compromises & balancing spending between the "now" &...

So wish we could buy in Adelaide. Might be time for another road trip to Aldi Portland to load up our stash!

The Victor Harbor council here in SA introduced this system a few years ago. Park bins now always overflowing as this is where people dump their excess. Bins always overflowing & wind blows & stuff everywhere. It's largely a tourist town, so not a good look. Lots of holiday homes & air bnb...

Perhaps there should be a couple of hours a day when on line shoppers are banned. Aisles are constantly blocked by on line shopping trolleys!

Update. For all that have chosen to have a go, I did state not everyone will agree. It is the system which is broken, not me. For those that have long term illness/disability that will forever prohibit them from working, the govt needs to change the rules around dsp & leave job seeker for the...

Agree. We do this daily. Treated the glass & tiles with enduroshield purchased on an Aldi special buy & squeegee off daily. Once weekly spray with wet & forget shower witch, leave & wash off next morning with hand held shower head. Sparkling clean & no scrubbing. Occasionally use wet & forget...

In SA the LOW income concession provides discounts to electricity, water rates, pharmaceuticals as well as being eligible to receive the cost of living concession ($449 for us this year)
