If you haven't already noticed (which would be hard to do, if you spend much time at all reading financial blogs), JLP at AllFinancialMatters displayed his blogging brilliance once again by organizing a Question of the Day Marathon for the month of August.

Each weekday during August, a different personal finance blogger poses a question for readers to answer. I've chipped in with my own answers to a few of the questions. There has been some really good, interesting stuff generated by this series, so if you're interested, here’s a rundown so far this month:
