What “little known rule” are we talking about? Everyone knows how to wear a seatbelt properly, don’t they?

I, being just under the 75 deadline (in some states), am very much aware of my increasing limitations due to health conditions and age related restrictions. I am worried about not being fully functional on the roads but look forward to VicRoads making changes that keep me and very other driver...

Wow never thought of licking the back door. Does that help it stay shut?? It would certainly keep me away!!

ING still offering 5% with Savings Maximiser. Yet there are hoops to jump but nothing too hard for using everyday banking. Yes it, too, does have to increase but an easy auto monthly transfer takes care of that.

Great article. I am sure that this will get a lot of people thinking about wills etc. I am surprised that there was no mention of probate though.

My wife and I used to pay Telstra $50 - $60 per month each for our mobiles. A relation showed us that going Prepaid sim only we cut that down to $30/month each. Then Telstra sneakily upped that to $35 two years ago then $39 last year. The only reason we use the big T is that when playing at...

What worries me about going public is the, possible, waiting times for surgery and treatment. My wife had to have back surgery a few years ago and after seeing the surgeon for the first time she was asked if she had any plans for the next week. We were told to leave his office while he saw the...

Has anyone considered that the postman doesn’t, actually, carry the parcel? He only carries the card telling you to go to the post office to collect the parcel that he/she might not have room to carry. I believe if you have an Auspost account you will get an email instead of the card carrying...

I would like to know how you managed to not spend anything on power for the last 10 years. Are you saying that your feed in Tarif covers the supply charge? In Victoria the FIT was 4.9 cents/kw two years ago, then last year it was reduced to 3.3 cents and from 1st Aug will be 1.5 cents. Together...

It is taxable when combined with other income (dividends, interest, earnings) and takes you above the tax free threshold.

I am worried by the new rules telling us that we must slow down to 40km/h (in Vic) when passing an emergency or rescue vehicle with their lights (orange,blue and red or whatever) flashing. I recently travelled to Melbourne on the M8 and on a left hand bend near Ballarat I noticed a B-double...

Wow!! an Austin 7 that isn’t black. That’s a rare one especially in those days.

Use the fuel apps like Petrol Spy. By using it yesterday I found that the dearest price for diesel in my area was $2.07 and the cheapest was $1.67 a 40 cent difference. When buying up to 80 litres at a time it makes a big difference.

In our area (Wimmera, Vic) we are encouraged to put our food scraps etc into our green bins. Why is Brisbane doing it differently?

A FIT (feed in Tarif) of 6 cents!! what a dream. I live approx 100 kms from Great Western (Vic) and our FIT dropped from 4.9 cents down to 3.3 cents last year. How does this compare with others around the state, country or globally?

I hope you’re not using the “replacement cost” in valuing your assets. The Government only requires the “fire sale” value when determining you total asset value ie what would you get if you had to sell it TODAY.
