LET’STALKFINANCE
WITH DANIEL MCGREGOR
FREE CARS FOR LIFE! …and worst case scenario, I’ll give you a FREE pizza
How much does your loyalty cost you? Keep reading to see how it may be costing you the equivalent of free cars for life. Loyalty is defined as a strong feeling of support or allegiance. Undoubtedly, there are people in your lives who you are loyal to and who are loyal to you. Loyalty is something most of us admire. However, when it comes to money, your
loyalty may be costing you an absolute fortune! Mozo recently found that Australians could be paying up to $134,358 extra over their lifetime by sticking with the big 4 banks instead of switching to the best home loans, credit cards and personal loans in the market. On top of that, they found Australians could save another $1,087 a year by
shopping around for a better deal on their car insurance and a further $1,127 a year by doing likewise with their electricity plan. We can also throw into the mix that a 1% difference in fees on your super could cost you up to a 20% difference in your retirement savings over 30 years. Most people who’ve seen a financial adviser for help with life insurance and income protection are paying a whopping 30% a
year higher premiums than necessary to fund the commissions paid to their adviser. If they’re also paying percentage-based fees, the cost of loyalty just keeps going up and up and up! It begs the question, are you being taken for a ride by the businesses you fork out money to day in, day out? Some interesting data from digital mortgage broking platform Uno found that disloyal loan customers get a better deal on average when compared to their loyal counterparts. Disloyal owner occupier customers who shopped around were able to secure an average rate of 4.3%, with loyal customers paying an average of 4.5%. More research by Mozo has found that borrowers could save over $1,200 a year with just ONE conversation. They found 7 in 10 home borrowers who have haggled with their lender for a better home loan interest rate have received one and they are able to knock an average of 0.5% off their current home loan rate. However, two thirds of existing mortgage holders have not haggled with their lender in the past two years, indicating a large chunk of borrowers could be getting some serious savings by simply asking! Being loyal is likely costing you a fortune. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. Think about it in real terms… the savings you could make could easily cover the costs of the cars you’ll buy over the course of the rest of your life. I’m going to be blunt for a moment… I hear people complaining all the time, but it’s rare that many of them actually take action. They know they should be
doing something but tell themselves it’s too hard to bother doing anything about it or they’ll get around to it later. I’ve been talking about the cost of loyalty, but the other way to think about this is to call it a ‘lazy tax’. How much ‘lazy tax’ are you willing to pay in your lifetime? If the answer is hundreds of thousands of dollars, then carry on as you were. If it’s less than that and you think you could find something a whole lot better to do with all that money, then let’s have a conversation and look at your options. I’d go as far as to say that it’s more likely you’ve put more thought into getting a better deal on toilet paper than your mortgage and your super. If that’s true, it’s time to take action! I’ll give you a bit of extra incentive… if I can’t show you that you’re paying too much in fees on your superannuation, I’ll shout you a free pizza! It’s more likely I’ll be showing you how to get free cars! Cheers,
Daniel

WORDS BY MELISE COLEMAN
Lee puts Orange Ex Services Bowls on the map
Blayney local, Lee Stinson has been described as an outstanding sportsman representing Orange Ex-Services Club (OESC) and the wider region in Men’s Bowls recently. Lee travelled to the State Championships for both the singles competition and pairs competition which was played in Ettalong. Receiving a top 10 placement in both singles events, Lee made it to the quarter finals in the pair’s events (paired with Ben Calloway). Lee also played in the state championships for Champion of Club Champion Singles which were held in Ballina. But wait, there’s more! A few weeks ago, Lee travelled to Cabramatta for the City vs Country series, a team of four was formed. This competition meant six of the best country players took on six of the best city players. Lee explained, “The rink I was in performed very well winning two out of three games, and the side as a whole really pushed the City guys. Obviously, it was disappointing to lose the deciding test by just one shot, however the State selectors got a good look at what the Country players have to offer.” “Personally, I was pleased with my performance over the three games. I don’t expect to be called up to the State squad this time around however but I will certainly be putting in extra time on the greens throughout 2019 to give myself the best opportunity for next year.” Lee has played bowls for an incredible 25 years, he continued, “It’s a routine as such, the enjoyment of being able to win occasionally, all of the events you

At school one morning, the teacher asked Little Johnny what he had for breakfast. Little Johnny said,“Well, on my way to school I come cross this apple tree, so I climbed up there and started eating apples. I guess I eat about six.”

are competing for your club, its about representing them and the mateship that you have with your team mates, as well as the challenge.” The big dream for Lee is to win a State Title, “I’ve been as close as making a couple of finals, but I am yet to win one. Last time I was close with the Finals in the triples, where we were beat by one shot, it was pretty disappointing to play ten games only to lose by one point but we played well together.” Lee spoke very highly of his Bowls Club, explaining the mateship of the club is why bowls is a sport for everyone, “The OESC have been amazing, you couldn’t ask for anymore from the guys out there. We’ve had our President and a couple of members travel and support us which has been great, they do that out of their own pocket. Outside of those guys, the guys at the club are always interested in what you are up to or your recent achievements which is great. They cater to junior events, senior events, opens and people of different abilities.” “My bowls career has been pretty successful realistically, it’s been rewarding, I’ve had a chance to play a lot of bowls in Orange and (hometown) Blayney, I also spent a few years in Sydney and got to test myself down there which was good. Naturally everyone is aiming for higher honours in representative speak which is still an aspiration for me, though generally I have had a pretty good career up to this point.” Congratulations Lee, what an effort, we wish you all the best for your 2019 career.
A Great Gift!
“No,”the teacher said shaking her head.“I think you meant to say‘ate’.” Little Johnny shrugged and replied,“Well it could’ve been eight, I don’t remember.” A man was celebrating his 100th birthday with his family and friends. Everyone was complimenting him on how athletic and wellpreserved he looked. “Let me tell you the secret of my success,”he cackled.“I have been in the open air every day for 75 years now.” Everyone was quite impressed and asked how he managed to keep up his rigorous fitness regime.

Orange Record Fair – Dig Deep for those Vinyl Grooves The Orange Record Fair is back for 2018 and will again be held in the CWA Hall in Robertson Park. Last year thousands of music lovers descended on the hall, enjoying the experience of stepping into a record store with thousands of Records, CD’s, DVD’s and collectables to dig through. Many people walked away with piles of music to savour and enjoy on their turntables and CD players. The prices for Records, CDs and DVDs will be starting from $2, so there will be plenty of opportunity again this year to score some bargains. This is also your opportunity to find those harder to find albums you’ve been looking for and know what condition they’re in before parting with your
money, without having to chance it online or travel to Sydney for some crate digging. If you have friends or relatives that love their music and are wondering what to get them for Christmas then this is a chance to find something different. There will also be assorted collectables, retro clothing and books to go through. The Orange Fair will also feature local acts performing original material from their current releases recorded here in Orange. They’ll have their albums available for you to purchase and have signed.

KBW is coming to Orange Popular Australian Comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson will be performing in Orange on November 6 from 8 - 10.30pm at the Orange Civic Theatre. The Kevin Bloody Wilson Show is a full-on event and an opportunity to tick from your bucket list a chance to see Australia’s most unique International comedy legend. Kevin has become a national institution – a must see for any person wanting to see absolute original Australian comedy. A long time ago, a long way from anywhere, in a West Australian mining town called Kalgoorlie, the legend of Kevin Bloody Wilson was born. It all started innocently enough just a guy with too much time
on his hands changing the words to other people’s songs, and writing a few of his own, purely for the fun of it. Twenty years on, countless live gigs and millions of album sales down the track, Kevin Bloody Wilson has not only found his niche, he’s grabbed an esky and a deckchair and he’s made himself really comfortable in it! Kev’s songs match the Kalgoorlie landscape, dry and unforgiving. These songs are uniquely Australian, and yet year after year, album after album, tour after tour, people from all corners of the globe keep laughing. Be sure not to miss this event in Orange on November 6.
