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 buy a second-hand gift for our young relative?
Our little boy's birthday is coming up, and his auntie says she's going to get him some toys he wants second-hand from an online marketplace for his present. We don't have any problem with that, as we've done the same in the past, but she's always expected us to get gift vouchers for his cousin when their birthday comes round. Should we follow her lead and buy something second-hand instead?
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.
