Carnivals – Week of 8/20/07

I didn’t get to participate in as many carnivals as I wanted to this week, but I am happy I could submit to a couple.

Carnival of Personal Finance

The Carnival of Personal Finance was hosted at The Simple Dollar this week. A few of my favorites from the carnival:

• Mortgage Blog talks about keeping the right balance between work and leisure
• Baglady says it’s not all about the money when evaluating job opportunities
• Advanced Personal Finance shows you how real returns get in the way of a good plan

Carnival of Financial Planning

The Carnival of Financial Planning was hosted at The Skilled Investor this week. A few of my favorites from the carnival:

• Confessions of a Housewife gives the scoop on the budgeting secret that saved her marriage
• Opportunities a Plenty gives a few tips to boost your retirement savings
• The Tao of Making Money explains what gap insurance is and when you may need it

My contribution to both carnivals was What Do I Need to Retire.
