Budgeting Page

I was getting very concerned about you, @Former-Member. You're usually about and always answer posts. Good to hear that all is well and to see you back on board.

Thanks @Historylover. How are your outdoor sports activities going and your depot? When I was on depot I would walk but it used to take it out of me. Don't know how you are coping with exercise on it but the depot used to slow me down. I'm still walking and now in addition doing grip strength exercises every day as grip is an overall indicator of health, strength and mortality. I go to a flying fox in the park each day and just use it to improve my grip. Have been able to maintain 7 seconds. Got to build it up to 1 minute

Checked my astrology cosmobiology (health zodiac) with an astrologer from twitter who occasionally puts out free advice and my joints, bones and tendons needed support. I'm 54 so makes sense. She recommended a Scheussler Tissue Salt but it had lactose in it and the tincture version had alcohol. Went across to a collagen supplement but something like $57/month which was not doable.

Got a mass email from a doctor who recommended just making bone broth instead! Its more affordable and you know whats it it. Making some for my joints bones and tendons this morning again!

My sport is going well so far, @Former-Member. Carpet bowls, tennis and now table tennis as well. I also started volunteering at an op shop and will do that for a while too. Privately, I'm making a study of paleoanthropology. I was thinking of doing a short course and looked into YouTube to get a feel for it, but the course may not be necessary now. All is well for the moment, so I'll just keep enjoying it for as long as it lasts.

The injection doesn't affect me anymore. I am over the total exhaustion and the Parkinson gait. Nothing more damaging than medication that isn't needed though. I noticed on the packet that full price is over $219 for which I pay $6.90. Just goes to show how much money the government has wasted for them by unnecessary prescriptions.

Good to see that you're looking after your health. My feet have improved out of sight since I got my car. I don't walk now but 3 days of sport and one at the op shop should have a beneficial effect too. And the new social aspect is very enjoyable.

54? You're just a kid.

Thankyou thankyou @Former-Member

WAYS TO MAKE MONEY JUST BY USING YOUR HOME AS A SIDE HUSTLE

I saw this in a recent magazine. People are bringing in a lot of money by doing such things as renting out their EV charger, renting out storage space, looking after pets in their own home, having people camp on their property if they have a large acreage, renting out their driveway for car space, turning their backyard into an offleash park for dogs and many more ideas! This time of year is particularly busy for this kind of thing. Lots of people are doing it to generate cash. There are online websites that co-ordinate these business services and its easy to sign up to be a service provider yourself

Thanks for this @SmilingGecko . I will try to set Wendi up another day as I’ve had enough online stuff for one day. Technology makes me anxious. The service that is creating problems for me doesn’t seem to have a phone contact so the useless online only service is traumatising me. I’ve managed to start dealing with two transactions today before I got overwhelmed. Not sure I can cope with anymore today.

I've been having tech issues changing e-mail addresses. I'm switching across to Proton and its been messy @GezzaP

@SmilingGecko No way am I changing email address it is too complicated so many things to change! I would get sick.

Yes thats definitely a fair point @GezzaP. I used to get manic reading e-mails until I chelated.

Chelated @SmilingGecko ? What? I don’t understand. I get overwhelmed easily. I panic but mostly the forum emails are ok, except when I’m bombarded with too much information. I especially don’t cope well with technology. Like trying to put a photo up here. It is all too much. I’m a hopeless senior when it comes to technology.
