What are you spending your FTB supplements on?

[*Chels*]

Mine is going onto the CC which I used to get my veins done..then on top of that we got a new (2004) car
Then the rest will be going to house renos...wooohhoooo new kitchen floor here I come!!!!

If you do owe them some money do they take it out of it?

Yes, unless you call and make a payment plan with them.

I am paying $30 a fortnight do will I still get the payment or not? I have no idea how things like this work.



(the money I owe is because I miss-calculated DP's income but informed Centrelink of the mistake asap. Just so know one thinks I am a Centrelink cheat)

It's easy to get an overpayment lol. Just call and say that you want to keep that going otherwise it's automatic.

We get a small amount of part a annually after we do our tax returns, so that and the supplement will go towards my home birth.

I'm sorry you have to pay for it yourself makes me so mad for you!

I'm sorry you have to pay for it yourself makes me so mad for you!

I know. I'm saving the government a fortune, lol. Makes me grumpy as it means less time at home after the birth due to finances.

But, so worth every dollar of being free of doctors and hospitals.

What ftb?

We do ours annually.

If we get some, we will probably save it

We are not eligible for FTB but with some of the examples given here my mind boggles at how much some of you must receive.

* note this is not a criticism on what you buy, more just my own surprise at how much FTB can work out to be

If people only claim annually, then even something small like $20 a week is over $1000 lump sum payment.

i dont think we will even see ours

New plasma I think.

we're upgrading our plasma to a 3d tv, with the baby bonus
