Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 31 January, 2022 Roses are red. Violets are blue. When the cheap money stops flowing, how stuffed are you? It appears you can put rising interest rates in the same “dead certainty” category as death and taxes. They’re coming. It’s just a matter of when. And how many. […]
Bruce Brammall, The Australian, 16 January, 2022 I wasn’t even a teenager when actress and fitness “guru” Jane Fonda made famous the “no pain, no gain” exercise mantra. Her thinking was that if you’re not in pain when working out, you’re not working hard enough. (If I’m feeling pain when I’m exercising, it’s more likely […]

Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 15 November, 2021 Retirement. It’s amazing how confusing a concept it is. So many people have so little of a clue. “When’s retirement age?” is a regular query. But there’s no answer to that. About 30 years ago, there was. And that used to be “65”. Sort of. But […]
Bruce Brammall, The West Australian, 1 November, 2021 Watching youthful stupidity is sometimes funny, sometimes painful, and sometimes cringeworthy. But we were all young once. Nobody gets into their 30, without having a catalogue of “embarrassments” to reflect on. Don’t think about too hard. There may be flashbacks and whole-of-body shudders over exactly […]
