Rubbish my father who spent from the age of 45 to 65 spending everything he could so as to ensure the AOP. Very sore point with me and my brothers.

He retired at 65 with ownership of the family home paid out at 65 a car (VL Commodore and $25,000) in the bank. Spent the rest of his life till 87 at the RSL Wyola club.

 

2years later  family home had to be sold ($465,000), to get mum into a nursing home. "Dad always said anybody with the same start as he", ie House, Car and a little cash, that did not have a good life on the AOP was a fool and a BS ter. They proved it as even though they had 3 new cars maintained the home paint, patios new airconditioners and paid fees to the nursing homes, I executed their estate at $600,000.

 

Disclaimer: Until 65 he and mum always worked (any job) , drank barrels of beer , smoked cartons of cigarettes until they entered the nursing homes. If you are struggling in Australia its your fault. Nobody else and certainly not the Government.

Do not forget it is the young struggling workers of today that are paying your OLD AGE PENSION

Oxymoron sorry if I  offended you 

For one I am only putting forward what I see in my job day today in regards to older  Australians

Not all of them were as lucky as your  parents 

most of  pensioners in Australia have already spent their life’s paying tax’s for their share of an old age  pension 

sadly you don’t get back what you put in 

I really don’t understand your comment in your post( very sore point with me and my brothers)

are you  referring to lost  inheritance 

cheers

What Brickbat said on the 28/07/18 would be really one of the most crappest things I have seen for sometime

heaps of people here trying to  survive on the old age pension 

the funds they get from this sunburned country is not  enough to feed a cat 

Really not a bad idea they should know who wants to marry and if there has been any  dramas in their  Country of origin 

when my lady came to Australia ?? she had to do this and also a  special branch  police check 

only people not  wanting to  comply  Maybe to much  shady history 

 Not really a breach privacy As if you are thinking of  marriage all parties should be  transparent 

hope you are not  offended about my two cents worth
