Weekly Highlights and Carnivals – Sick Kid Edition

For the past six days, my oldest daughter has been doing all the nasty stuff that comes with having a stomach bug. After the fourth day, we took her to the doctor and they diagnosed her with the Rotavirus. Apparently it’s severely contagious and extremely long-lasting, so we have had a heck of a week dealing with it. (of course, my daughter has had an even tougher week) We’re marching on, though, and praying that nobody else catches it.

This week brought some great posts from the M-Network and beyond:

M-Network

• Paid Twice talks about becoming an accidental investor.
• Being Frugal explains how to avoid Murphy’s Law.
• Single Guy Money flaunts his 1 million dollar umbrella.

• Gather Little by Little responds to a reader asking how to include a 401k in their net worth calculation.

This week my post, Give Your Graduate the Gift of Financial Education, was included in the Carnival of College and Finance at College and Finance. This is my first foray into this carnival, but I must say I was impressed with the quality of articles. Go check it out!

My most popular post this week was an oldie – Earn Huge Returns at Prosper.com.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
