How to protect your f*** off fund and travelling with dementia
from Life Matters - Full program podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
A new report has found Aussie couples are moving away from pooling their money, and are choosing to be more financially independent in their relationships instead. But a separate bank account doesn't automatically mean the money is protected if the relationship ends. Researcher Kira Duggan, solicitor Antonella Sanderson and journalist Shelly Horton discuss the ins and outs of shared finances.More than 446,000 Australians are living with dementia. For many, it's a diagnosis that can turn your world upside down. But it doesn't mean life stops. For both Jim Rogers, who was diagnosed with early onset dementia in his 50s, and Debra Graves, who cared for her husband Don after his diagnosis, an important part of their new reality was prioritising travel. Analogue hobbies are having a moment again — crochet clubs, scrapbooking and journalling are all over social media. These once old-fashioned pastimes are finding a whole new wave of fans, with some data suggesting it's younger generations leading the charge. So what's behind the resurgence?
