    Haggling on holiday and one wife’s secret cash stash

    If you don’t ask, you don’t get. But what if you do ask, you do get, and the other person loses out? And is that what happens when comparatively wealthy Westerners barter abroad? This week, The Telegraph’s straight-talking Deputy Comment Editor, Lucy Denyer joins Sam Meadows and Lauren Davidson from the Personal Finance team to answer one reader’s query about whether it’s ok to ask for money off whilst on holiday. And - ethics aside - Lucy admits she’s just too British to do it herself. Plus our journalists advise a woman who hasn’t told her husband about her secret pot of money even though her family is struggling financially. Is it too late to own up? Tell us your moral money issue and we might discuss it on the podcast - email us at moralmoney@telegraph.co.uk or leave us a voicemail on 07867 162 170.

    Never tipping and £80 trainers for four-year-olds

    Do you ever feel like the “discretionary” service charge doesn’t feel very “discretionary”? This week The Telegraph’s Special Correspondent (and former waiter), Harry de Quetteville joins Lauren Davidson and Sam Meadows from the Personal Finance team to dig into the moral implications of not leaving a tip. And one of our hosts has a big confession from their time working in a café as a teenager. Plus, Harry struggles to feel sympathy for a parent who wants another mum to pay for damage to their toddler’s expensive shoes.  Tell us your moral money issue and we might discuss it on the podcast - email us at moralmoney@telegraph.co.uk or leave us a voicemail on 07867 162 170 and you might even hear your voice on the show.

    Flatmates you didn’t ask for and meddling grandparents

    Bryony Gordon joins Sam and Lauren from The Telegraph’s Personal Finance team to help two readers who think they’re being hard done by. First up: flatmates. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them —but what can you do when your flatmate’s boyfriend has all but moved in, but refuses to pay rent? Plus Bryony has some rather unsympathetic words for a reader whose parents think they can have a say in how they raise their child because they stump up the nursery fees. Tell us your moral money issue and we might discuss it on the podcast - email us at moralmoney@telegraph.co.uk or leave us a voicemail on 07867 162 170 and you might even hear your voice on the show.

    Legally avoiding tax and telling your dad to stop squandering your inheritance

    It’s legal, but is it moral? Investing in an ISA is considered sensible tax avoidance, but do we cast putting property in your spouse’s name to lower your tax bill in the same light? This week on Moral Money, Lauren Davidson and Sam Meadows from The Telegraph’s Personal Finance team are joined by star columnist, Janet Daley to debate just that. And there’s no sitting on the fence here. Plus, they advise a reader whose father’s taste for luxury has left him worried about the state of his inheritance. But can he really ask him to stop? Tell us your moral money issue and we might discuss it on the podcast - email us at moralmoney@telegraph.co.uk or leave us a voicemail on 07867 162 170 and you could even hear your voice on the show.

Join them and special guest Tim Stanley as they unpick two thorny financial problems sent in by readers. Up for discussion: Is it OK to game the state school system by buying catchment-area property? And can you ask your 17-year-old nephew to return a charitable donation you made for a marathon he didn’t run?
