These guidelines are here for your benefit – they help to make the my money community a friendly and accepting place for you to find the information and support you need to make the most of your money.
When you create a my money profile you are agreeing to adhere to these guidelines.
Please take a minute to familiarise yourself with them before you post:
- We're based in the UK so please post in English only so that everyone understands what you're saying.
- Debates are welcome but please keep it friendly.
- Respect others' opinions even if you disagree.
- Think before you type - it's easy for completely neutral comments to be misinterpreted once they're in print.
- Don't post personal insults, sarcastic slights or criticism about another member.
- Use my money as part of your decision making process but always do your own research when it comes to making financial decisions.
- Feel free to reference external resources that you think would be useful to other members but don't use my money to advertise or promote any products, services or companies, or spam.
