You can improve your chances according to this article. The secret is about 'good living'. Regular exercise, balance, agility, healthy diet, good sleep, challenging your brain to learn new things and being involved in supportrive relationships.

In summary, enjoy a balanced life style.

As a specialist in the science of ageing, this is what I’m doing in my 50s to stay strong into my 80s and beyond.

I have pointed out previously that the Labor pork barrelling of Qld and WA at the expense of the other states has to stop. It is economically unsustainable, probably unconstitutional and definitely immoral., but falls on deaf ears because of political vote buying expediency.

Well, now even the non-WA Labor States are telling Albo that the sweetheart deal with WA is going to damage him politically if he does not end it.

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has warned Anthony Albanese he could lose vital seats across the east coast if he fails to resolve how the GST is carved up among the states and territories.

Ross is tiring of poor government policy which is rolled out under the guise of assisting constituents, the economy and the environment.

Environmental economists came up with the idea of the offset. The Albanese government’s using the mechanism to pretend it cares about climate change.

Healthkick FridaYy reminds us that private health insurance policies can be flexible and tailored to you needs.

That these needs change throughout life, from one of insuring against accidents and growing families to later life when we need to insure against health conditions faced by our deteriorating bodies.

So review your policy to ensure that you are covered for what you actually need and not just accepting the standard.

The policy you set up in your late 20s or early 30s was designed for an entirely different version of your life. Have you reviewed it since?

Oh dear, here we go again. Trust in our banking system continues to fall.

Some banks made manual errors that meant customers with offset accounts were overcharged, leading to more than $55 million in compensation.

Today's Healthkick Friday looks at how well we are ageing. The test so to speak.

Think about which of these tasks you can do and then consider the exercises and activities you can do to improve your strength and balance.

The two really telling tasks seem to be being able to put your socks on while standing and getting up off the floor without using your hands. These skills slip by without giving any real thought to them and the challenge is to regain them.

The tiny things that reveal more about your good health than you’d think.

Budget Tax Trap - If you were thinking that your capital gain up to 30 June 2027 would be taxed with a 50% general discount and therefore would be preserved, then think again.

If investment property prices come off 10 or 20% then that is coming straight out of the 50%discounted gain because your market valuation at 30 June 27 is going to reflect the lower market sales prices ....... and then if prices recover the catch up gain will only be discounted by the cpi adjustment! The CGT you pay is going to higher than once thought.

The solution is to sell before 30/6/27 in a falling market and risk realising a far lower price that you would have pre-budget, in which case you lose anyway. Or hold the property longer term so that the cpi builds back towards a 50% discount ....... at 3% pa that could mean you have to hold for another 15 years.

No wonder the Treasurer and Albo are rubbing their hands together and expect the CGT tax collection projections to be increased (and the uncontrolled budget spending to swallow that increase too).

Helathkick Friday knows the importance of maintaining our mobility as we age. This week we think about knee health.

Maintenance is always a better option than surgery, with knee surgery being difficult to successfully replicate and replace.

Our knees are the largest joints in our bodies and without them working efficiently our movement is restricted. This article looks at knee maintenance including weight control, the right exercises, building muscle strength, being pain and injury aware.

The knee is the largest and most complicated joint in the body. It’s important to do what we can to protect them.

*taking some long deep breaths
*zoom out and create distance
*shift your perspective
*try mindfulness meditation
*put your phone away
*talk and laugh about it

Nobody is proud of how they act in a moment of impatience. Here’s how to keep things under control.
