Monday Edition

Want to hear from us only once a week? Click here to get the Sunday only send.

Happy Monday, members! It’s the start of a new week, and the team and I (Jarred) hope you’re all doing well! James and I have pulled the ol’ switcheroo, so you’ll be seeing more of me on Mondays once again! Lucky you. 😉 As always, we’ll start the week with a tricky riddle:

My first is twice in apple, but not once in tart. My second is in liver, but not in heart. My third is in giant, and also in ghost. Whole I'm best when I am roast. What am I?

Apples, livers, and giants? What you are is a mystery (or a rather diabolical recipe), for sure! If you think you’ve got this one figured out, do head to our forum post to answer! Get it correct and you’ll be included in tomorrow’s newsletter shout-out.

Yesterday’s Australia

How Did We Survive?

For today’s blast from the past, member @SGH shared a candid post on how the younger generations are just raised different. ‘Gosh, those were the days,’ they said. ‘Mum used to cut chicken, chop eggs, and spread butter on bread using the same cutting board, the same knife and no bleach. For some strange reason, we didn't seem to get food poisoning.’ If you think that’s a good point, wait until you read the entire post. It might have you reliving a memory or two. Do you also wonder how your generation ever made it? Share your thoughts with us! And if you have other memories you’d like to share, post them on our Nostalgia/Yesterday’s Australia forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
