A question about : MONEY MORAL DILEMMA. Would you give up a Ј50 train seat for a pregnant woman?

Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:

Would you give up a Ј50 train seat for a pregnant woman?

You book an advance seat on a five-hour train journey. It's a Bank Holiday weekend, and there's standing room only for non-reserved passengers, including a heavily pregnant woman. Normally you'd be up in a flash, but are loathe to give up your seat, as you paid Ј50 for it and booked early, knowing it would be crowded.

A question about : 'Should we starve the jobless back to work?' poll discussion

Poll between 26 April - 4 May 2010:

Should we starve the jobless back to work?

Lord Jones, former head of business institute the CBI (and for a while an independent Labour minister), recently said we should 'starve the jobless back to work' by making benefits not pay in a discussion about the young unemployed.

Yet others say that's both against human rights, and if there aren't the jobs we'll simply see more crime if benefits are cut.

A question about : 'What religion are you?' poll discussion

Poll started 20 September 2010:

What religion are you?

On his visit the Pope declared his worry the UK is becoming a secular society.

As we've previously found out who MoneySavers are, where they live, and what papers they read, it'll be interesting to see the religious makeup.

Are you a practising member of any faith (or belief)?

A question about : Money Moral Dilemma: Am I paying too much for holiday car breakdown?

Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:

A question about : Less than 12 months

Hi,

I have a lump sum from a house sale and wanted advice on how to get the best return with NO RISK ( as this "fund" has to finance a divorce + wedding + honeymoon )

The timescale is 6 - 8 months and the amount is 40k.

Any ideas would be very welcome.

A question about : How much do you save/pay off?

Just realised, my suggestion on the pinned thread would probably have been better off being a separate thread...

Here it is repeated...

In light of the current demographic poll about the users of the site, how about another to deduce why people are here, (presuming it hasn't been done yet of course!) - Idea came from How much should I save? on the Funny Money board
