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:

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.

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.

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!
