A few of this week's top threads

These are some of the Forum discussions that caught our eye this week:

Money Moral Dilemma

Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.

Should we ask our sister to pay rent for living in the family home?

My father died recently, leaving half of the family home to me and my two sisters. My mum still lives there and owns the other 50% - she and my dad paid off the mortgage a few years ago. One of my sisters also lives there, rent-free. Should my other sister and I - who both have families and mortgages - ask her for rent now we own part of the property? We'd charge it in proportion to our share, so it'd be much less than if my sister moved out and lived by herself.

See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.

Your two cents

In this week's poll we're asking what you think of your bank's app ... and judging by this recent thread quite a few hardcore MoneySavers have plenty of experience of juggling multiple accounts with different institutions.
