    Accepting dirty money and selling an ex’s Rolex

    Accepting dirty money and selling an ex’s Rolex

    You’ve been given a life-changing sum of cash from a relative, but you think the way they made it is immoral. Do you take it or leave it? This week personal finance journalists, Lauren Davidson and Sam Meadows are joined by The Telegraph's Associate Editor, Camilla Tominey to debate just that. And they reach a rare point of agreement. 
    Plus - in a Moral Money first - the team discusses one-night stands, after a reader got in touch to ask when a Rolex left behind by a fling is hers to sell.

    Fiddling work expenses and rewarding children with cash

    Who better to debate the ethics of spending company money than one of the journalists who broke the MPs’ Expenses Scandal in 2009? This week, Lauren and Sam are joined by The Telegraph’s longest serving reporter, Chief Political Correspondent Christopher Hope. The trio help a reader who regrets lying to their boss about drinks bought on the company card — plus father-of-three, Chris weighs in on whether parents should incentivise children taking exams with cash-per-grade rewards.

    Haggling on holiday and one wife’s secret cash stash

    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?

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

    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.

    Flatmates you didn’t ask for and meddling grandparents

    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.

Amazing

So interesting. Was shocked about the entire thing and very intriguing would recommend.

Love the program.. highly recommend

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!!!
