Martin’s Blog…

Hi, welcome to my Blog, while the site’s articles have all the key MoneySaving info; this is my space to muse on a wider collection of topics; life, money, being in the media and more. Feel free to read or ignore!

MoneySavers are an avaricious bunch - not sure I like it
Friday October 21st, 2005

Now I’m all for saving cash (funnily enough) but I was quite surprised by the results of the current poll on the site. Most people finding £50 would pocket the cash with very few questions asked. Funny isn’t it? I’m all for taking companies on but am a wee bit prudish when it comes to this. I’d feel very guilty about grabbing it.

In the ensuing MoneySaving towers discussion Neil, our developer, said “yes but surely it’s a MoneySaving site?” My reply? “and the cheapest way to get a CD is to go in and nick it from HMV, but that doesn’t make it MoneySaving”
