One Redditor with $13 million is tired of paying $30K a year for a plan he hates. But fellow users warned: even with a fat bank account, one big hospital bill could wipe you out.

Christine Baxter+FollowWhy Your Power Bill Is Up, But So Is Your PayHere’s the scoop: Aussies are finally seeing a bump in their take-home pay, but don’t celebrate just yet. The economy’s barely moving, and most of the extra spending is just going to higher power bills since government rebates ended.
