This week on the MSE Forum we've got a heady mix of nostalgia, holiday planning and home improvements.

A few of this week's top threads

Here's a selection of what caught our eye recently:

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 I split my job referral bonus with the friend I referred?

My employer recently advertised a job vacancy, and I posted it on social media in case anyone I knew was interested. A friend got in touch about it, so I referred him, and he got the job. I'm now due a referral bonus in the £1,000s. I could use the money as I'm about to move house, but it's only thanks to my friend's efforts in his application and interview that I'll be better off. Should I split the bonus with him?

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.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.
