Into the new financial year and if you haven't noticed yet, there have been changes afoot, not only in your take home pay, but if you're receiving a government payment, there are changes there as well.  We welcome back Juston Bott, media information officer from Services Australia (CentreLink) to explain what the changes mean to those receiving the age pension, but also for those who have never been near a government office, and what you may be entitled to - yes, even if you're over retirement age and still working.  Justin explains the differences, and the impact.

We recently interviewed Ben Simpson from Collective Shift at the IFPA conference, and this topic was so compelling, we had to have him back on the show for a full interview.  Today we cover of the basics of what crypto and Bitcoin is all above.  We also love free, so we're handing out a lot of free information and education that you'll be able to learn about this interesting yet still new way of investing - even though it is over 12 years old now.  We are still skeptics here at Dollars and Making Sense, but we are always willing to learn new ways.

It can happen to anyone, and when you least expect it.  Internet, email, phone scams are rife, Justin Bott from Services Australia (Centrelink, Human Svcs etc) details over $430m lost so far in 2023 to fraudsters, and it can happen to even the smartest, most savvy people you know.  We chat about what types are out there, and how to protect yourself, and importantly, what to do if you think you've been scammed. https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/types-of-scams and https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/active-scams are great resources to check out.
