Weekly Roundup and Carnivals

Filed under:
Credit Cards, Money by Money Expert

Again it’s time to roundup posts I read this week and carnivals I participated in. This week I hosted the Carnival of Money Hacks again and it was a great carnival. Please leave a comment on “Book Review: Birth of Plenty” for a chance to win. The winner of the “Living Well in a Down Economy” is Just Eloped. Please contact me.

Now to roundup the PFBlogger community

WideOpenWallet asks an important question “how do you teach value“
NoDebtPlan talks about living on a budget, I personally hate budgeting
MasterYourCard tells us 101 ways to go green and save, I love these posts
GirlsJustWannaHaveFunds asks “what wouldn’t you give up to save money“, I’d have to say my dogs

Posts I read around the Blogosphere

Phil @ PayYourselfFirst talks about “Our Scary Dining Experiences“, where he talks about ways he saves money while still dining out. I do all those things always.
GreenPandaTreehouse talks about “5 things to do to build wealth in your 20s“. I like it, and these habits should continue until you retire.
Little Thomas @ SoonToBeDebtFree talks about “the Get Rich Mentality”. I agree it’s easier for some over others, and for others it’s an enforced habit, I’d totally blow money if it wasn’t automated. But I know myself.
Khan @ HighEducationWebBlog talks about “Student loan Forgiveness“. A must read for anyone in student loan debt. I had no idea peace corps and americorps had loan forgiveness if you worked for them.
Kay Bell @ Don’t Mess with Taxes talks about “the Biggest tax cheats, the rich“. The rich are able to use every loophole to minimize their taxes
Jim @ Blueprint for financial prosperity talks about McCain, Obama, and 401ks, IRAs. I wonder what will happen? Will we be broke in 30 years.
