Blog Carnival Round-Up—Quiet After The Storm

So this past week, this blog hosted two carnivals, the Festival of Stocks #85—Man on the Moon and the Carnival of Money Stories #56—Once Upon a Time—and had posts included in four other blog carnivals, all relating in some way to personal finance. Phew. Not sure I want to repeat that schedule any time soon…. Here’s my recap of the other blog carnivals in which we participated. As usual, we go in order of carnival seniority.

Carnival of Personal Finance:

The Happy Rock hosted the 149th Carnival of Personal Finance—Chasing Dreams Edition, starting inspiration on April 21. Here were some of the dreams to chase:

Blueprint for Financial Prosperity presents Laddering Your Emergency Fund …
The Digerati Life presents Get Hired, Get a Raise and Get Paid More By Improving Your Appearance …
Alpha Consumer presents Debunking the Money Myth …
squawkfox presents Ten Things You Should Never Carry in a Purse or Wallet …

Money Hacker’s Carnival:

Quest for Four Pillars hosted Money Hackers Carnival #9 - Scream Edition!, letting loose the frights on April 22. The villains were taking vicious hacks such as these:

Master Your Card writes about the new credit card “bill of rights” proposed by Barrack Obama. …
Know The Ledge says to stay the course with your investments. …
The Family CEO says she makes extra money on eBay.

The Carnival of 20-Something Finances:

Money Under 30 hosted the Carnival of 20-Something Finances for April 21, 2008. My favorite post from the Carnival was:

The young ones were gracious enough to include my more-aged post, 800 Credit Score, Strong Income, Strong Assets Not Enough To Save HELOC, under “Debt and Credit.”
