Health insurance is needed for DTV. No thanks, prefer to stay Non O

Retired expats cannot own a car in Vietnam, so if you like the “freedom”, safety (compared to a motorcycle) and convenience of having car, then avoid this country.

Simply go the TV station’s website using a VPN. Enjoy.

So most doctors are “a bit silly”. Go it 👍 The best room temperature for sleep is approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18.3 degrees Celsius). This may vary by a few degrees from person to person, but most doctors recommend keeping the thermostat set between 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6 to 20 degrees Celsius)for the most comfortable sleep. www.sleepfoundation.org

Livin’ the dream 😭

28??!! No thanks. Most doctors recommend keeping the thermostat set to around 20 degrees Celsius for the most comfortable sleep.

How one tweak can give us an increased pension! The Age Pension is meant to be a financial backup and the superannuation system was designed to support us in a comfortable retirement. Still, increasingly older Australians are falling into poverty, so what’s going wrong? It’s estimated one in five older Australians live in poverty. At the September 2024 indexation, the Age Pension single payments rose by $28.10 per fortnight, while combined payments for couples increased by $21.20 per person. That’s an increase of less than 3 per cent, which in no way covers the rising costs of basics such as energy, food and insurance, some of which have increased by double digits. World Bank data has revealed that Australians pay up to 41 per cent more for meat, up to 45 per cent more for dairy and as much as 46 per cent more for fruit than other countries. Add to that the increasing number of Australians heading into retirement with a mortgage or renting in unstable private markets with ever-increasing rents. Far from a comfortable retirement, many older Australians are facing a grim future. So what’s the answer? A recent report by The Australia Institute claims there is one simple tweak that could easily alleviate the problem. The institute wants to remove the massive concessions to those retiring with millions of dollars and use that money to increase the Age Pension. New research by The Australia Institute has found that Australia spends almost as much giving tax breaks to wealthy retirees as it does providing a safety net, the Age Pension, to those with little or no retirement savings.

Keep your money in your homeland - all of it withdraw-able at anytime - but tell the TGF that only limited amounts are made available every so often such as annuities, dividends, pension payments etc. Your savings are now safe. She now needs to budget this income. You no-longer have a bottomless pit for her and family to drain. You’re are no-longer worth more to her dead than alive.

Too funny. Things a little boring in the village?
