Money Moral Dilemma: Should I pay more for our holiday because it's one my partner won't like?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I usually let my partner decide where we go on holiday, but have found one I'd really like to go on.

Travel insurance clearly covers you against costs because of illness during a trip.
