Term Deposits

Laddering is not only something that happens to women's stockings, it is also used to define a type of investment strategy that investors use with term deposits. Basically, laddering is a way of assembling your cash investments so that your funds are more regularly accessible while still being able to take advantage of high-interest long-term deposit accounts.

Savings Accounts

Christmas Day drums up images of smiling, happy families, tucking into a beautifully cooked feast that kings and queens would happily raise their glasses to. But the reality for many of us is one of culinary chaos. Stoves boiling over, thirsty turkeys over-crisping in a jam-packed oven and a Christmas pud that isn't quite what it was in Grandma's day. Not to mention the cost of it all, which by itself would threaten to send any money-conscious family into financial stress. But what if we told you, you could whip up a decadent Christmas lunch for under $100 that will have you leisurely sipping champagne by the pool instead of sweating it out in the kitchen? This seven-dish Christmas feast, prepared by Australia's number one food blogger Nagi Maehashi from Recipe Tin Eats, ticks all the boxes.

Credit Cards

According to the old saying, death and taxes are the only certainties in life. We can probably add credit cards to that list _- from online shopping to liberating us from the burden of carrying cash, it would be impossible to live a hassle-free lifestyle without a bit of plastic.
