This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... A relative always puts a lottery ticket in family and friends' birthday cards. In my most recent card, I won a decent sum of money on the ticket - should I keep it, or tell them about it and offer to deal them in on the winnings? Unfortunately the MSE team can't answer Money…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... When my two children move back home after they graduate, I'm going to charge them the going rate for renting rooms in the area. They'll get perks - laundry, Wi-Fi, cooked meals - and space to work out their next step in life. They're refusing to pay, but I think if I don't…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My back garden is separated from my neighbours by a fence that blew over in a storm a few months back. It's a shared fence, but my neighbours paid for it before I bought my house five years ago. They've asked me to pay for half of the replacement fence, but I can't afford to…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... When eating out with others, I feel I'm usually expected to split the bill evenly. Yet I don't eat meat or drink alcohol, and only take water with my meal. I'm not stingy, but feel put off eating out when expected to pay the same as others who have indulged in steaks and…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My husband gave my parents a lift in my car to the GP surgery and got a parking ticket. He parked in the correct bay for patients, but didn't know he had to go in and enter the number plate at reception. He says I should challenge it or pay half the invoice because it was my…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My partner passed away last year. Before then, we regularly went away with friends and would split the cost of the holiday between us - for example, if a holiday home rental cost £500, we would split it £250 per couple. My friends and I are now looking at going away this…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... As our kids are getting older, we had a massive clear out of toys, clothes and books that they no longer use. I asked my son, aged nine, to go through them and pull out anything he wanted to keep, but rather than checking, he said he knew there was nothing he wanted. One of…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My husband and I both work full-time and contribute equally to our household expenses, including food shopping. But he eats far more than me - both in terms of portion size when we cook together, and by having breakfast at home when I don't, as well as by eating sides with…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I'm a landlord and have to get a yearly gas safety certificate for the property I let. With my tenant's agreement, I gave the gas safety engineer her telephone number, so they could arrange the visit. On the day itself, my tenant forgot the appointment and was out at the…
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I travel a lot for work using the train. I arrange the tickets myself and pay for them with my own money, then my employer reimburses me the same day. Sometimes, a couple of days after my journey, I receive a notification from the train-booking app I use, letting me know I'm…
