Let’s Talk About Debt, Savings and Expenses: A Big Week Of Carnivals

We started with a bang this week with The Simple Dollar’s presentation of the Carnival of Personal Finance #114. I’m glad Trent has hosted our largest finance carnival this time as he never fails to trigger a huge traffic boost whenever he links out. Please do more carnivals Trent! .

From that list, we have the following offerings:

• The Happy Rock: 5 Key Strategies For Getting Out Of Debt
• Clever Dude: Classifying your debt: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
• Brip Blap: Flying On The Cheap (For The Airlines, Not For You)
• Ask Mr. Credit Card Blog: How I Keep My Sanity When The Equity Markets Are Volatile
• How I Will Be Rich: New or Used? You Make The Call
• Saving Explained: Take a peak under the hood of my savings
• Chief Family Officer: The Infrequent Bills Account

We also got some helpful tips from the 88th Festival of Frugality – About Me Edition held at The Happy Rock. The theme here is pretty interesting as the host decided to link to the “About” pages of the blogs that participated, so it was good to learn a thing or two about my blogger friends through this avenue. Here were my choices from there.

• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already: Considering the cost of things I took for granted.
• FIRE Finance: Save Gas – Tips To Save Money On Gas!

On this note, I’d also like to bring up two other fairly popular carnivals that cover the realm of financial topics I enjoy writing about.

• Carnival of the Capitalists 8-20-2007 touches on the economy, business and investments.
• The Carnival of Real Estate Comes to the Country discusses what else(!) but the real estate market, the housing industry and the professionals who work in it.

So to all these carnival hosts: THANK YOU for selecting my posts as their picks for their carnivals this week — it’s an honor! And I’d also like to acknowledge Lance Turner of ArkansasBusiness.com for regularly covering financial blogs on his beat as well.

Don’t forget, more on carnivals and links on the weekend!
