| Last week's Moral Money caused quite a stir with Telegraph readers, as they debated whether it was right or wrong for the author to leave his new wife in economy while he took an upgrade to first-class – on their honeymoon no less. If you missed it, take a look and join the debate here.
Another article set to ignite a gender debate among readers is whether women are better investors than men. A group of female retirees who call themselves the China Dolls set up a DIY investing club in 2000. Over the past three years it has returned 46.2pc, trouncing 99.6pc of fund managers within the UK All Companies Sector. That means just one comparable professionally-run fund outperformed it.
The club said it gets investment ideas from reading the news and investment columns, including our very own Questor. You can also keep an eye on how your holdings are doing with Markets Hub, the Telegraph's live data tool.
Marianna Hunt, our Millennial Investor, is just starting out with her investment journey. Could she have the same success as the China Dolls? |

| Armchair General said about delays to millennials' life milestones: "I just don't get the millennial victimhood thing. Every generation has its challenges, some existential like war. Some highly disruptive and potentially existential like National Service... I haven't got it in for millennials, but they need to understand that they are victims of nothing more than the swings and roundabouts of life itself."
Sean Lanigan said about Instagram victims lose 9,000 each in 'get rich quick' investment scams: "It's no different from the lottery ticket or African Prince etc email scams. If you are dumb enough to think you can get rich from someone you don't know on Instagram, I'm sorry but you deserve everything you get."
Jay Smith said about how to save for a wedding: "What about not being stupid and spend reasonably? Throwing more than a couple thousand quid on a wedding is, for most people, a really, really stupid thing to do."
