Set up automatic bank transfers to chop your income into % parts: 5% play money, 20% savings, bills etc. do what works for you. Get rid of unnecessary subscriptions.

I think (or hope) most of us know that nuclear is no longer an option for us in Australia and that there are many more sustainable ways to generate energy here.

Subscriptions.

I think it's more:

  • We rule you and take your money
  • We preach to you and take your money
  • We fight you and take your money/resources
  • We take your resources that you've grown

Or it could be the rulling class takes the biggest cut, clergy the next biggest etc. with workers at the bottom supporting the entire system but receiving the least.

And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that's affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you're likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you're struggling in poverty.

Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who've worked hard to get to where they are.

I want complete control of my technology after I buy it. I don't want my phone to assume things that I like based on my input. If something goes wrong, I want it to be my fault because I enabled the wrong setting. I also want physical buttons. I miss those so much.

I'd love to get prints from the artist to hang on my wall.

Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.

Two tomato plants far exceeded what we needed. We sacrificed the remainder to the possums and birds.

Thank you so much. I hope you and your wife's IVF journey was more successful than mine.

Agree - human health. I guess I was thinking about my surgery costs for endometriosis on top of IVF and how it wasn't covered by Medicare at all. Medicare coverage has huge gaps and I hate how the government whittles away at it rather than expanding it.

I'm late to this conversation but I've gone 5 rounds of IVF and it's cost us most of our savings. IVF didn't work for us and we're looking at egg donors. Did you know it's illegal to pay someone or receive money for being a surrogate or egg donor? We're having to look overseas because hardly anyone here will do it for free (understandably).

Clearly, the government isn't interested in anything remotely related to female health.

My vote is for "Yes" by A.B. Original, DJ Total Eclipse and Marlon.

The lyric "I never swore allegiance to the crown" sends chills down my spine.
