For some, the days of pockets stuffed with cash are long gone. Contactless cards especially have meant now even small transactions can just be done with a ‘beep’. So we wanted to test how cashless our society is now, and who’s using it. Please tell us which option is NEAREST to your situation.

Over eight million energy smart meters have been rolled out. They automatically send meter readings to your supplier for you, so you don’t have to.

It’s Valentine’s, so we want to know if it’s acceptable to use a 2for1 restaurant voucher on a first date. We’ve asked this over previous years - so let’s see if attitudes have changed. (PS: Yes we know splitting the bill/the woman paying are more than valid options, but that’s a poll for another day…) Imagine Robert asks Ashley to dinner on a first date, saying he’ll pay. When the bill comes, he pulls out a 2for1 voucher – what advice would you give Ashley?

Depending on your view… either love is in the air on Valentine’s Day, or we’re all victims of a commercial construct to push us to pay money to demonstrate our affection. So let’s see how much you’re planning to spend. Please estimate your total spend for Valentine’s and all related activities (incl presents, special dinners, outings, trips etc).

If you want to dictate where your assets go when you die, you need a will. Die without one and on top of the grief, it can cause a financial nightmare for the people you care about. A will can be made cheaply, and sometimes for free (see our Cheap Wills guide). So do you have a will and if not, why not? Please select ALL of the options that apply to you. PS: Thanks to @JodieRamsdens for suggesting this.
