    Should posters on askaboutmoney be non-judgemental?

    I would agree with this. I also followed the post in question and would concur it's not typical. However - I often get irritated by people giving their own two cents into a different question i.e. one which is essentially straightforward. One I remember from years ago went something like this -...

    Relationship breakdown

    Hi Dave. I'm really sorry this is happening to you. It seems as if your girlfriend is instigating this and it's not your wishes. You must feel really upset. Added into the issue is the family land and house location to complicate matters. The first thing you need to know is not to make any...

    Work Life Balance

    Might I respectfully suggest that you're all wrong?:) And you're all right, of course. From your own experience, perspective and generation. Just as an observation: I would say that when discussing "progress", "equality" etc. I think that some people can easily forget how it used to be pre-...

    Is there a Canadian equivalent of a One for All Voucher

    Hi, not sure if there's a more suitable forum, apologies, if so. As the title suggests - I have a family member in Canada who has now cancelled plans to travel home for Christmas due to the virus, quarantining etc. I'd like to send a gift which they could spend over there but I've no idea what...

    Middled Aged Internet Dating

    Womens' attractiveness has nothing to do with their intellect, achievements, sense of humour, kindness or a million other things? Happy husbands and partners stop fancying their other halves as soon as they stop producing babies? Reducing women's 'attractiveness' to their bodies based on a...

    Middled Aged Internet Dating

    What a reductive, utterly misogynistic, statement. Your experience is undoubtedly your experience but what a very sad and limiting belief to hold.

    Middled Aged Internet Dating

    I guess you could infer they're connected - an assumption that a certain level of education leads to a 'good' job and higher income level. Presumably more important to some demographics than others but a desire that the prospective partner would be financially secure would, I assume, be...

    Middled Aged Internet Dating

    I heard a longstanding web dating owner / operator of an Irish site on the radio discussing online dating about a year ago and they said the biggest impediment to meeting someone is the unrealistic parameters which the prospective daters set. In mens' case it was always about seeking a MUCH...

    Neighbor's cats

    Obviously it's subjective as to what makes a better pet. Wouldn't fancy a rat myself but then I wouldn't have a cat either. (the thoughts of them walking on the worktops where we prepare food). But I like cats and would feed one if it came into my garden and have done. In my case when I've had...

    Receiving bank charges for transfer via Revolut

    In case this helps anyone else, I'm answering my own question. Took a chance and went ahead with the transfer (£20.96), a few hours later, got an acknowledgement from co. I ordered from that they had received my transfer and that my my goods would be shipped. So it seems no receiving charges...

    Intrum Justitia Settlement

    FWIW, Under no circumstances would I make a payment until I had received the terms in writing. If they can figure out how to negotiate the deal, process the payment, allocate the funds, they can figure out how to access as printer with headed paper and the appropriate signatory

    Twitter Defamation

    I seem to be alone in having a certain sympathy for the OP. I use twitter daily and have done since 2012. I have used it for work (via a work account, in the name of the business) and personally. They are in no way linked. I don't tweet or extremely rarely. I have < 1,000 followers. I follow...

    Ryanair Gift Voucher - will they extend expiry

    I got a voucher for €150 for my birthday last June with a 1 year expiry. I could book a flight for later in the year (for when?). Without knowing when normal service will resume have Ryanair extended the term of validity of their vouchers or should I book before June and just reschedule if air...

    Wrong time or least worst for non standard mortgage switcher application

    Warehoused is €110k, Active €190k, Term remaining 16 years. I'm not unaware of the value, however, I'd like to start paying down the full amount aggressively and I'd like to be on the best rate while doing so.

    Wrong time or least worst for non standard mortgage switcher application

    Hi Skrooge, Thanks for your reply. Yes, actually 0% until the end of the term so there's definitely an argument for staying put. However, we've been systematic in terms of repaying debt and are now the mortgage is the only outstanding issue. The whole experience has made us really risk and debt...
