I agree with you about a lot of Americans, not all. I find opinions expressed by Americans about Australia are often ignorant. Obviously we are not perfect, but we are far ahead of a lot of places around the world.

I have found super to be very useful for me as it provides tax free income. My super fund provides indexed super income. You can select if you want it indexed based on inflation or I think a certain percentage each year. I can't recall all the details and things change. I am NOT an expert in...

It is really simple. The amount you need in retirement depends entirely on the things you want to do. Nobody else can tell you what to do. There are some basic day-to-day living costs that all of us have to contend with. That can be somewhat individual as well. Yes, you do have to cater for...

Thanks Ezzy. I does help to hear of other people's experiences. The retailers will sell you anything and tell you anything, so research is critical. Have a great day.

We are considering getting ducted reverse cycle air conditioner for the whole house. I know that costs can be high, but if we zone our house properly, we can hopefully keep the costs down. Most of our day is spent in the family room, kitchen and dining room, so that will be one zone. I am not...

Since we do some of our shopping at Coles, for us it is useful If we were not doing any shopping from Coles, it would not motivate us to shop from Coles. I think our grandkids would enjoy these "toys".

But due to their sacrifice, I am living a great life. So it is not only on 11 November but other days as well I acknowledge their sacrifice.

This is an informative article which is useful for some of us who are over 60. I had TURP procedure just over a year ago. I stayed in hospital for two nights. Surgery was easy from my point of view. No external cuts involved. When I went home I was asked to drink plenty of fluids (I can't...

A good article. I would prefer informative articles like this one.

You cannot cure stupid.

This is disgusting. It is pure laziness. Is this what their taught them? Common decency is becoming uncommon these days. This is, in some ways, similar to people dropping rubbish on the ground when there is a bin 20m away. My wife and I carry our rubbish until we find a bin. Sometimes when we...

That is a bit extreme. Don't forget that we do not know exactly what went on in their relationship. Sometimes we should understand that perceived reality may not be correct. Also please be aware that relationships break down due to numerous reasons, so stating that she was only used to give him...

That has killed the rental market! :)
