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 resold a dress I bought in a charity shop - should I my profits with them?
I bought three dresses from a charity shop for £30 each - they're all from a trendy high-street brand, each retailing at £80 to £100. I later decided the colour of one of them wasn't right on me, so I listed it on a clothes marketplace app. I was delighted to get £60 for it - a whopping £30 profit. Now I'm wondering whether I should give some of the money I made back to the shop I got the dress from? Or is it enough to make sure I shop there again in future to help them out?
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.
