VerdictsA new question every morning at 7am

Am I being tight? Is it worth it?

One money question a day, from our desk or from a reader. One tap gives your verdict and shows how everyone else voted, and members can reply with why. A week or more later we call it.

How verdicts work

  1. A new question opens at 7am UK time: either "Am I being tight?", about what's fair to spend, or "Is it worth it?", about a membership, subscription or big buy.
  2. One tap counts your vote, with no account. You see the split once you've voted.
  3. Members can reply with why. Replies follow our house rules, and we check them.
  4. After a week or more the vote closes. We pick the most helpful replies and add our own closing line, and with 20 votes or more the split becomes readers' verdict.

What's a fair amount? gathers the verdicts that name an amount, by occasion, beside what published surveys found.

What it costs lists what memberships and subscriptions cost, plan by plan, from the sellers' own pages.

Send us your dilemma

Torn over what's fair to chip in, or whether a membership pays for itself? Tell us in up to 120 words. Our editors read every one. If we use yours, we'll edit it a little, leave your name off and email you when it opens. Questions about debt, benefits, health or a child's safety are better asked of MoneyHelper or Citizens Advice.

Put today's question on your site

Each morning's money question for a blog, a forum or a family page: "Am I being tight?" or "Is it worth it?", with its two answers. An answer opens the question on Vouchernaut, where one more tap casts the vote, and between questions the frame shows the last one's verdict. Paste this into your page's HTML where you want it. It sets no cookies: all that's kept is how many times a day each site loads it, and nothing about who's reading. The line crediting Vouchernaut is welcome, but it's yours to keep or drop.
