112th Carnival of Personal Finance is Up

The 112th Carnival of Personal Finance is up at The Frugal Law Student. Big thanks to him for organizing the carnival for this week. The number of articles in this week’s carnival is mind-blowing, so grab a drink and some snacks before heading over there.

While I enjoyed a large number of the contributions this week, these were my favorites:

• Dough Roller talks about 10 things he knew at 40 that he wishes he knew at 20. I agree with him on many of his points and have my own list that I may write about at some point.
• Finance is Personal informs you of
  five money topics to discuss with your future spouse before you get married. I would say these are the bare minimum of money topics you need to discuss before marriage. You certainly don’t want to have any huge financial surprises! (of course unless they are something like a secret trust fund with millions of dollars in it).
• Moolanomy explains 35 common sense rules for investing. Bookmark this post and read it every so often to make sure you are investing intelligently.
• Millionaire Mommy Next Door shows how she became a millionaire while working from home. Very impressive. She certainly made some smart decisions to obtain her financial freedom.
• Saving Advice had a very different type of post this week. They compiled 25 money confessions from audience members at talks they had given. Some are quite disturbing.

Again, I recommend reserving some time to take a look at the other articles that I didn’t mention.

In my contribution to the carnival this week, I give 6 ways to increase your kids’ financial intelligence. Enjoy!
