Money Moral Dilemma: Should I charge my Mum for my old phone?

Former_MSE_Rebecca · 2014-09-18 16:16:17

I've upgraded to a new phone and my Mum wants my old handset as she's never had a smartphone before. It's pretty ancient but a friend of mine has offered to pay me £50 for it and I reckon I could get more online. Should I ask her for cash? Or let her have it for free? If you haven’t already, join the forum to reply!…

I have an idea how to solve this.

Make a calculation of how much your mother has spent on you in your childhood, deduct the cost of the phone from that amount and then you owe your mother the sum that is left!

YES, give her the phone.
