    You say you've moved in with friends but you are asking this forum rather than your friends over £30.

    I'm not impressed with the sort of person you are actually and would not want to live with you or be friends with you if this is the way you act over £30!

    It's an MMD. Do keep up.

    It's an MMQ. As with most such questions there is no dilemma. A simple choice has to be made.

    Keep the money. They will end up all owing you money anyway. You have to chase them for money now but once they move out it will be impossible to get their last payment.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    Why are you even asking this question?... of course it should be shared.
    I am sure others will also contribute their time in other ways so there is no excuse to keep this cash back.

    You absolutely have to share the cash back with your housemates as its a joint bill,

    Yes you are managing the bills but that doesn't entitle you to keep the full reward, Im sure your housemates appreciate your hard work and will be impressed with your saving them cash,

    A standing order to your account each month to cover bills will solve you having to chase anyone for money

    I say keep it!
    Presumably you switched to get cheaper prices for everybody? So they should thank you for that. Collecting the cash & having to chase people is a hell. Ensuring that the bills get paid on time is an important responsibility.
    I often find myself agreeing with the group consensus but not on this occasion - you thoroughly deserve it in my opinion.

    Something like this could cause problems between all concerned. I suggest you send me the money then that should solve your problem.

    be honest, depending on the amount of friends (inc. yourself) is it that much each? in which case use it for a 'celebrate moving in together' night in - takeaway and a bottle of wine.

    Keep it as a deposit for when they move out and don't pay you for the last bill. Unless your housemates are all organised and honest you'll be out of pocket by at least £30 when someone leaves and then repeatedly 'forgets' to pay you or starts ignoring your calls.
