Here are interesting posts and news this week from the MoneyBlogNetwork members and beyond:

• Consumerism Commentary gives insights into your "real" raise.

• AllFinancialMatters highlights his "Man on a Mission" site.

• MightyBargainHunter comments on my thoughts regarding the new rules for writing off charitable gifts.

In addition, there were several entries in AllFinancialMatters's question of the day marathon including:

• Do you involve your values in your money decisions?  If so, what are some examples?  If not, why not?

• What factors affected the career you chose? Was it purely about the pay or were there other aspects that influenced the decision?

• In the past 24 hours, what have you done in relation to money?

• What does money mean to you?

And a special thanks goes to AllFinancialMatters for organizing the question of the day marathon. To see all the sites participating (and some of the questions), visit AllFinancialMatters.
