We’re earnestly celebrating the 4th of July in the usual manner — a great barbecue with family and some teeny tiny (riiiiight!) fireworks in the yard. We’re first generation immigrants and naturalized citizens who feel greatly honored to live and work in this wonderful country, where we have been afforded tremendous opportunities and have built lives we enjoy. We’re living our own version of the American Dream [insert cheesy music with firework popping sounds here] and we’re proud to be Americans!
On this holiday, why not head on over to Blogging Away Debt who’s hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance #107? There you’ll find a hefty 74 finance articles for you to cover while you’re chomping on that corn! Here are some great reads I found over there.

Hi SVB
Happy 4th. Thanks for mentioning my post. My roundup is due later today!

I earn minimum wage and have student loan debt. Is reducing my spending realistic?
Minimum Wage, ummmm….first I’d like to ask: How bad is your spending? I would suggest that if your spending is reasonable, you may not have any other recourse but to try to find a way to make more money in order to chip at your debt faster. If you have student loans, you must have gotten a solid education and I’m sure you must be pretty skilled, therefore you may be able to get a higher paying job at some point. Just my .02!
