Budgeting, Dividend Payouts and Being Middle Class @ The Carnivals

Short Announcements and This Week’s Featured Money Carnival

• A quick reminder to say that if you haven’t wrapped up your taxes yet, you may be able to benefit from this TaxCut giveaway over at Sound Money Matters.
• I’d like to thank Donna Freedman from MSN Smart Spending and Lance Turner from the Arkansas Business blog for sharing a couple of my posts with their readers. The posts were on how fellow entrepreneurs can help your business and how you can extend the life of common items.
• At this week’s carnivals, I was also pleased to have made the Editor’s Picks at The Carnival of Personal Finance #147 held at MoneyNing with my post on health care costs. Here were some interesting finds from that carnival!
  • Budgeting on An Irregular Income @ I Paid For This Twice Already
  • High Dividend Payout Ratio = High Earnings Growth Rate @ The Dividend Guy
