Hi, I'm new to this site. We are planning a trip from country Victoria to Townsville because my daughter is due to have another baby in mid January. Although we have travelled to Townsville before, this is the first time we will be doing it in a caravan, so we are very excited! However, we are aware that we will be travelling over the peak season, and fuel is expensive right now. We appreciate any tips you can give us!

Hi everyone, I'm currently putting together a rental manager app that makes self management much easier. (when you do it yourself, it saves so much money, but it can be a bit of a hassle to set up. Would anyone be interested in this? At the moment, I have it just for our house as we prepare for our next big lap, but happy to make it available to anyone who would like it. (I will make it part of the paid subscription here as it will cost me some fees to make it live) I can do a walk through of the app if anyone is interested - I have it so I can drag and drop bills, it itemises everything, can send emails to tenants and yourself with reports, and collates info at the end of the FY. Basically, any of the data management side of things it can do - and links to all the government websites that has the info for self management. Let me know if this is something that could be useful - I figure if it makes my life easier, it might make your life easier also! :)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a few people to test my new tool. Some feedback I've been getting lately is - it's one thing to budget for your holiday, but what if I haven't really looked into my outgoings before? This tool I've created is a simple way to get a quick overview of your current expenses - so then you can work out what you want to keep, pause or change while you travel. Follow the steps and it will create a PDF to print so you can go through it in your own time to get a good understanding of your finances before you try to start budgeting. If you would like to check out this tool - please click here: https://margieandtim.com.au/know-your-number.html And, in the comments below, could you let me know what you think, any bugs, any features you would like to see added, etc? Enjoy :)
