Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance – April 26, 2007
Welcome to the April 26, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance. Quoting from the Carnival’s Homepage, “The Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance is a space to come together and share thoughts and experience as we navigate the challenges of integrating our money decisions and our broader values.”
The Skilled Investor has selected only those blogger submissions that discussed at least one non-monetary value in relationship to personal finance. Other, non-germane submissions, however interesting, were not included.
I have included 12 articles below. They are listed in the order of their submission. Enjoy.
Reb Chaim HaQoton presents Wisdom in Money posted at Reb HaQoton.
Rich presents WWYD: Hand Out Money on the Street? posted at Queercents, saying, “In the What Would You Do series at Queercents, Rich asks what you do when it comes to being asked for money on the streets.”
FIRE Getters presents Beware of TripRewards – Account Closed Silently! posted at FIRE Finance.
Sagar Satapathy presents The Lazy Man’s Guide to Budgeting posted at Debt Consolidation Lowdown.
Aniq Rahman presents Listen to the Employees Before You Buy Up The Employer: Better Means Bigger posted at Fiscal Times.
Paula presents WWYD: Errors on the Dining Bill posted at Queercents, saying, “In this week’s What Would You Do series at Queercents, Paula asks: When you go out for dinner do you review the details when the server brings the check or do you assume it is right? Do you do a quick “ballpark glance” or do you look at each Dining Billitem one at a time and do the math? Would you bring it to the server’s attention if there were an error (especially if that error was in your favor)?”
Silicon Valley Blogger presents Help! Could I Have Bag Lady Syndrome? posted at The Digerati Life
Leon Gettler presents GE and integrity land mines posted at Sox First, saying, “How can a sprawling business like GE maintain its integrity, ethical standards and corporate reputation? Here are the rules it has in place. Managers who screw up, even if they are unaware of ethical breaches, can be sacked when they happen as can employees who fail to report ethical breaches.”
Mr Credit Card presents Credit Card Tips When You Use A Coupon? posted at Ask Mr Credit Card’s Blog.
English Major presents The Complexities of Anti-Consumerism posted at An English Major’s Money
plonkee presents fair trade ethics? posted at plonkee money, saying, “I should do more to support fair trade”

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of the Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
