Did you watch the Senior Gent.on how the Age Pension is too much?
on tele. last night? carrying on about how Seniors have it too good re the pension?
It is stupid, as the pension is below the poverty line and it must be desperately difficult for those not owning a home or renting in the private sector but many many Seniors are struggling at the moment because of the cut in interest rates for those living off the interest from their money and no better off than those on the pension. I am glad for our kids struggling to own a home though, so no easy solution is there. Just think he would have been far better having a bit of commonsense and not giving fuel to some to once again criticize older folk.
We were off shopping before 9 this morning so did get a parking spot near the entrance to the shops as knew it was going to be a hot one today but jimminies the spots were filling up fast. Love Christmas though and people seem just that little bit nicer at this time of year :) Lot of bargains around :)) :) and yes also at Aldi :)
No I did not see the show Phyl, which channel was it on ?
Those pensioners who live in government houses when compared to someone who owns their house has to pay fro rates, insurance, repairs and maintanence they are actually better off.
Private renting is a bit harder but then some get rental subsidy.
But ifeel that the pensioners are doing it tough.
Ok! You going to tell us what the best buy is at Aldi's this week?
