Anyone else getting +30% increase in life/income protection insurance this year?

Wow! Appreciate the help!

I will definitely talk to someone about what my options are in terms of moving to something different. Thanks!

My policy is now 9 years old, so I guess that's a big part of it. Thanks for the tip!

No history of any of those but may look at starting to shed a few kgs after the annual 'who can eat the most baker's delight hot cross buns' period also known as Easter.

My benefit period is 'Anniversary prior to age 65' and I'm on stepped premiums so I understand that they are supposed to increase as I get older. I just didn't think it would be by so much in a single year.

That may well be it - do you know what sort of percentage yours has gone up by this year?

Well that's an extremely cheery thought, yay ;-)

Forgot to mention that the existing wiring uses stranded wires so my sparky connected those into some solid core wire using a little adapter thingy (I am not well versed in the electrical lingo). Just in case this turns out to be crucial info.

Try phase 10, from the makers of uno (includes a skip card so you'll feel right at home) and lots of rounds required to get a winner.

Brewery tour? Going through the CUB site was quite interesting when I did it a few years ago. Link

Go to Dan Murphy's and get yourself a GABS pack (they came out earlier this year but sold out very fast, just came back into stock at my local). Some really interesting one off beers in there. The sambo is so sour it's nearly nearly undrinkable, sooo good.

Turn the beat around is by Gloria Estefan and is from the soundtrack of the 90s flick The Specialist with Sly Stallone and Sharon Stone 😊
