Carnival of Ethics, Values, and Personal Finance

Hi everyone! Here's the latest Carnival of Ethics, Values, and Personal Finance:

• My picks this edition focus on knowing yourself as a path to well-being (financial and otherwise):
  
• Zen and The Art of Personal Finance in 4 Steps by teaspoon at www.TeaspoonFinance.com - Financial wisdom, one teaspoon at a time....
• How to Fight With Your Spouse About Money by The Dough Roller at The Dough Roller.
• Finding The Center by Trent at The Simple Dollar.
  
• Other highlights:
• Marlon J. Broussard presents The 7 Immutable Laws of Building "True Wealth" posted at MoneyBlog. ("I have come to realize that my core beliefs about economics, finance, capitalism, business, money, consumerism, and the like, are all contrary to how our world functions today. Now, the questions to ask are rather simple; Does that make the "Worlds" way of functioning wrong?, Are those who make their livelihoods through this way of functioning, bad for doing so?, Are you an anarchist? The simple answers to these three questions are no, no, & NO!")
  
• plonkee presents who do you donate to and why? posted at plonkee money. ("Which charitable causes do you support?")
• ChristianPF presents Don't give to the poor? posted at Money in the Bible | Christian Personal Finance Blog . ("Is giving to beggars helping them or hurting them? A quick discussion about giving to the poor.")
• Leon Gettler presents The Pope and taxes posted at Sox First. ("The blogosphere has come to life with the Vatican announcing that Pope Benedict XVI will issue a doctrinal pronouncement condemning tax evasion as "socially unjust" and denouncing tax havens and offshore bank accounts, claiming this reduces tax revenues for the benefit of society as a whole.")
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Cheap Barbecue And Safe Fireworks: Our Fun Family Extravaganza posted at The Digerati Life. ("We had a simple get together with the family using our cheap barbecue grill. And it was as usual, a truly fun time.")
• Anna Ross presents Money & Soul posted at From Anna's F-R-E-E-Writing. ("Applying SQ (spiritual intelligence) to money")
• Living Better presents What Is Your Credit Saying About You? posted at PlainAdvice. ("Take a candid look at what your credit problems might be saying about you.")
• Christopher Smith presents You want to be a hippo, not a whale shark posted at Real Estate Investing in the Real World. ("Business and investing is all about dealing with people. Entrepreneurs and investors who have their eye on the long term when it comes to building relationships will build more value in the long term. Trust, honesty, and open communications are values that good businesspeople practice.")
• The rest:
• Paula presents WWYD: Repair, Upgrade, or Buy New? posted at Queercents. ("When something isn't working as it should do you sink the money into repair or upgrading it? Or, do you just scrap it and bite the bullet and buy something new?")
• Chris Russell presents Working Hard Does Not Produce Success posted at Productivity Planner. ("Yes, we work hard to be successful, but we also have to choose to be successful. It is a decision. It is a conscious effort. It takes mental discipline. It is a deliberate mindset.")
  
• John presents WWYD: Speak Now, Or Forever Hold Your Peace? posted at Queercents. ("We've all had some reservations about a friend or relative's decision to seal a commitment with a formal union. Of course, the emotional cost of a failed marriage or union is greater than what dollars can measure, but sometimes people jump into commitment ignoring all that is at stake...")
• Kevin Surbaugh presents Mega Millions, Powerball & Other Lottery Thoughts posted at Becoming & Staying Debt Free. ("With last weeks Powerball getting as high as $314 million , before an Iowa woman won the huge amount, and last night's Mega Millions game garnering four winners in four states (dividing the $330 million prize), I thought I would take some time and discuss the lottery.")
• Nenad Ristic presents Attribution Theory posted at Money Conciousness.
• Wanda Grindstaff presents Summer is Over, Is it Time to Focus on Success? posted at Creating Abundant Lifestyles.
