Aged Pension - Welfare or Entitlement?, page-338

Nope but once only we did fund a nieces college education for one semester which was about $200.

My wife has her own small income here and used that.

We also had to contribute a sum of about $500 to my mother in laws funeral costs a couple of years ago.

I also paid for half the cost  ~$1,000 of a new motor bike for a brother in law, but it's ours to use whenever we visit.

Our place there is far from any city and heavy traffic.

You should see the five of us on a 125 going to the beach or somewhere lol. I can still ride a bike OK even though I turn 70 this year.

Australia and it's kill joy crappy regulations are just a bad memory.

So yeh to be perfectly accurate we do actually send some money from time to time, but don't make any regular payments or directly support anyone.
