Carnivals This Week
I had the opportunity to participate in three carnivals this week. Each had a different theme, but they were all in some way related to personal finance. Here are the carnivals and my top picks from each one.
Carnival of Personal Finance
- Cash Money Life asks, “How much is the home run record worth?”
- My Wealth Builder explains that we could have profited from the housing and subprime collapse.
- The Digerati Life gives 10 popular reasons to buy new cars instead of used.
My contribution to the Carnival of Personal Finance was my article Maximize Your Paycheck.
Carnival of Debt Reduction
- Gather Little by Little posts part 6 of their series “How to get your finances under control” called Get Out of Debt.
- Clever Dude asks if the thought of debt is ruling your life.
- Free Money Finance tells you to forget about biweekly mortgage payment plans.
My contribution to the Carnival of Debt Reduction was my article High Speed Debt Elimination.
Carnival of Money Stories
- Millionaire Mommy Next Door explains that evaluation is critical to your success.
- Dough Roller instructs you how to pick your first mutual fund.
My contribution to the Carnival of Money Stories was my article Dramatically Cut Your Cooling Costs
As usual, I recommend setting aside a chunk of time to read through many of the articles in these carnivals as they are packed with useful information. I learn several things about personal finance and investing every week!
