My name is Nick and l have just joined this site and forum. I have just applied for my aged pention and hope to get it at my 67th birthday in 3 months. I was very stressed about how to do it.

Looking forward to helpfull info on this site and being able to ask questions from other members.

G'day All

Recently retired computer nerd living in Regional Victoria with my wife of 37 years. We are empty nesters, son and daughter have their own families, and yes, we are Grandparents. I have a lot of computers, a PS5 Gaming console and way too much free time, lol.

Looking to create some friendships of our own age.

Edit: Username is wrong, lol. It's supposed to be BraveheartBSD. I'll fix it on the 15th of August.

Thanks
William
