Every Australian aged 50 or over will receive regular bowel screening kits to test for cancer and other complications, but there are now calls to make these tests available to younger people, as it turns out this isn't a condition that only affects older generations. A growing number of women especially - including those in their 20's and 30's - are developing bowel cancer, but often don't realise until it is too late as we still wrongly think of this as an 'older person's disease'. The Quicky speaks to two women who were diagnosed with bowel cancer in their 30's and 40's, and a specialist surgeon to find out who is at risk of bowel cancer, what symptoms to look out for, and why it seems to be increasingly common.

With just days to go until the Federal election, both the major parties have announced new policies designed to attract the votes of, and allegedly help, first home buyers.  But what of the Coalition's plan to allow people to access up to $50,000 of their Superannuation to help pay for the deposit on their first home; is it a good idea that will genuinely help you get on the housing ladder, or a disaster for your retirement? The Quicky speaks to a Superannuation expert to find out everything you need to know before you cast your vote this Saturday. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

When you move in with a partner, how to manage your finances for household bills and spending money is a really important conversation to have, but it can be very difficult. Where do you stand on joint versus separate finances? Do you have one bank account where all your money goes in and out? Do you keep all of your dollars separate and transfer between you as and when needed? Or perhaps a combination of both? The Quicky speaks to two financial experts to consider what the options are, how they can impact your long term financial situation, and what happens if your relationship breaks down. If you're separating from a partner, MoneySmart has a checklist to help you organise your finances after a break-up. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

There are currently more cooking competitions on TV than ever before, as it seems we just can't get enough of all the different variations of professionals and amateurs competing for a culinary prize, but why do we love these programs so much? And it's not just about being a passive observer, many of us also love to participate in a cook off in our own lives, whether it be at the local Easter show or with a group of friends. The Quicky speaks to a Masterchef contestant, two friends who host an annual cooking competition, and a psychologist to find out why we seemingly love nothing more than getting competitive in the kitchen.

Hollywood actor Bill Murray has been a firm favourite with audiences for decades, so when news broke last month that his latest film had to stop shooting after just three days because of his inappropriate behaviour, many people were shocked. Lucy Liu was probably not one of them though, as she claims that his actions had been problematic on the set of Charlie's Angels back in the year 2000, and it was revealed he also caused problems on the set of the 90's film 'What About Bob?' So the question is, can you ever teach an 'old dog' new tricks and change their words and actions to ensure their conduct is appropriate in 2022, or is there no hope? The Quicky speaks to an expert psychologist and an older man who admits he needs some guidance to update his thinking, to find out what practical tools and advice you can employ in your own life to help change the ways of the ones you love for the better.
