If you have any helpful tips, please post them in here.

I'm sure many of us will agree that IF there is a chance in saving time/money etc .. then why not take advantage of it.

I'm happy to go 1st.

I find it amazing that you can save a lot of money simply by taking some time to shop around .. online.

Right now I'm online looking for the best deals on greenslips (for the 3 cars in our household .. sighs).

http://www.greenslips.com.au/calculator.html

^^^ An excellent find IMO. I've just calculated that I'm now ahead by around $500 thanks to this Price Comparison website.

My advice/tip.

Don't just take your Greenslip Renewal papers and pay them by the date due .. do yourself a favour and shop around to confirm that the amount the insurer NOW wants you to pay is indeed the best deal around. You may be surprised by what you discover.

Hopefully this info helps others who post here (and are sick of the steep price hikes in terms of car insurance and related premiums).

I'm curious about these 'greenslips' you talk of.

I decided to google it.

Turns out to be some sort of compulsory insurance requirement for vehicles in NSW.

Interesting.

Buy your books here:

Very cheap, and free delivery to Australia (very fast too).

Tip: even though they are the same company, compare prices from both web sites.  They are often different.

My tip

Get sugar out your diet.

Reduce and be very careful what starch you eat.

Avoid buying any foodstuff that is in a packet.

And the obvious don't smoke tobacco or dope or drink alcohol

Lisa, I have found that you don't always get the best price from a greenslip website. Sometimes when you phone around you will get a better one.

Here's a health tip. For heart & joint health take some wild krill oil every day.

Its not what you earn that will make you rich, its what you choose to do with it afterwards that will determine it.

The difference in cost and taste between a cheap whiskey to a 18 year old single malt is well worth the $150.
The difference in cost and taste between a 18 year old single malt to a 25-30 year single malt is definitely not worth the $350.

Vigorous sex every day will get you just as fit as running 5km's every day.

and that concludes my healthy ,wealthy and wise tips.

Thank you.
