In every household there comes a time when you have to talk finances. Sometimes it’s kicked off by receiving a larger than expected bill, or you might not be able to pay your regular bills because of something out of your control such as poor health or sudden car repairs.
As much as we can, we’re here to help, but we’re not financial counsellors and can’t provide broader financial advice. If you’d like financial assistance but don’t know where to start, there’s a good government resource called MoneySmart, which has been setup to help people in Australia learn more or find someone who may be able to help out.
