A few of this week's top threads
We're always scouring for useful, interesting or cheering threads. A few that caught our eye this week:
-
I successfully defended a claim from a parking company with help from the MSE Forum (A big shout out to the regulars of the Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking board, who frequently help Forumites who want to dispute fines.)
-
We haven't been billed for electricity since moving in four years ago – what will happen?
Team blog
Have you encountered a coupon fairy? The MSE Forum tells tales of a mysterious but generous breed of MoneySaver – one who passes on vouchers to strangers or tucks coupons on to supermarket shelves. But have you ever benefitted from the benevolence of a coupon fairy? Or are you one yourself?
Read more in the Coupon fairies – have you ever encountered one? blog, or add your own stories in the Ever benefitted from a coupon fairy? discussion.

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.
I put in a much bigger deposit – but should we split the property equally?
My partner and I are looking to buy our first home together. I'm putting in a 40% deposit and they are putting in 5%, but they want to split the ownership 50/50 once we've bought. I think that'd be unfair – and have suggested we split it 60/40 in my favour, with the proviso that we both arrange our wills so ownership would transfer to the other if one of us were to die (we're not married). Am I being unreasonable?
You can find out what our Forumites think and add your own two cents on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Remember the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every MMD.
