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.

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.

It’s the best show on my podcast - I went through series 1 in two sittings / walking, as I listen to podcasts during my walks. The subjects were very pertinent and although it is lovely to hear our hosts talk about their views, the guest list for each episode has been impressive and to top it, the poll results from Telegraph readers! Really enjoyed series 1, please come back with more episodes and more surprise formats! Looking forward to your season 2 with perhaps some more conundrums!
Love chopper simply brilliant!

It’s a must do listen to podcast. One of my fav podcasts. Chopper’s a great interviewer and love the his style of seemingly keeping the conversation informal whilst getting to the heart of the issues. Love it!!!

Really enjoying this podcast, interesting concept, fun hosts, and it feels very accessible and useful for a money-clueless 20 something. I look forward to the new episode every week- it’s the only podcast I’ve ever consistently listened to! Great job Telegraph, and to the talented team!
