[Deleted User] · 26 December 2006 at 4:28PM

Hi I bought the new book for my DD for a Tree gift and she is delighted with it. She asked me which charity the proceeds were going to.I'm afarid I haven't a clue ,could you tell me as she said she is sure that you never answer questions put on the site ,but a minion would probably do it ?

By the way I have been an OS since around 1950 odd so many habits have become second nature to me .Loved looking through it though before I wrapped it .
Happy New year Martin ,keep up the good work, I believe you read these posts .

Scroll some way down this page and you will find a long list of the charities which have benefited. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/aboout.phtml

I bought both books for each of my three adult children. My eldest is over the moon at the thought of getting his bank charges back.

Minions? Not sure Martin has Minions

that wouldn't be money saving after all

He does have staff and volunteers though

I'm sure he'll try to answer time allowing but please don't be upset if he doesn't answer personally

Charis has kindly posted the link to all the charties that benefit and other helpful information which should in the mean time answer your question I hope

Hi

The money is being split 1/3 goes to the sites voted for charities -the rest is going to the new MSE charity fund which will distribute cash for grants to individuals and charities to help money and debt info and education.

I bought the book after Christmas after I had seen it at a friend's house. Am still only half way through as I have discovered the website now which is so in-depth and up-to-date, especially with the chat forums for just about everything I never thought about before, but I am doing about two pages a day as a bedside reading. And I got the book for just £3.99 from Amazon, teehee.

Got the book through the post on Saturday morning, finished it last night.
Found it very easy to read and laughed at quite a few of the things in it (Particularly the part where the bank introduced the open an account for £1 - get £25 back offer but when the loophole was publicised by Martin they thought they would be clever and make the minimum amount to open the account £100 yet the same thing happened again)

Aiming to save quite a bit of money with the book and it introduced a lot of ideas that I would never have thought of (max'ing out a 0% credit card and getting the sticking the amount in a high interest savings account - brilliant)!

Going to try and convince my wife to read it, have recommended it to quite a few people at work (one for the cheaper holidays, one for general savings) and plan to get a copy for my parents and one for my sister too.

I found the Money Diet cheap on ebay and as i've been a member here for yonks i just had to get it and i am actually really impressed, i thought that it wouldn't be much help as most things i have already acted upon on the information on this site....but infact i have found it really interesting and it just seems more in depth....though it seems quite overwhelming on where to start!!....will have to make the time to read it in more detail soon..... top stuff!!......
