The Carnival of Personal Finance #151 highlighted a prominent theme this week with an edition aptly named as “Bloggers On Surviving The Squeeze”, held at Alpha Consumer. The “belt tightening” theme continues to be the talk of the day in the money blogosphere as we grow more attuned to the nation’s growing financial challenges of late. But I also found several posts that covered a variety of topics:
- How to Dress For an Interview @ Cash Money Life
- You’re NOT Homeless! @ You Might As Well Burn $5
- Is CPI Manipulated? @ Amateur Asset Allocator
More saving scenarios were offered by The Festival of Frugality #124 which is currently running at the “mother of all frugal sites”, Frugal For Life
. The layout of the carnival was simple and straightforward — it’s done in alphabetical order!
- Home Maintenance Tips @ Save and Conquer
- Top 10 Dollar Store Buys @ FIRE Finance
- How To Save By Making Credit Card Payments More Real @ The Personal Financier
Going on to debt slashing topics — we have the 138th Carnival of Debt Reduction over at Rocket Finance with a healthy dose of anti-debt articles:
- Why Debt Stinks: Life Doesn’t Just Stop So You Can Get Out @ Paid Twice
- Congress and Fed Take on Credit Card Industry @ DebtFREE-Revolution
I’d like to thank Rocket Finance for the honor of an Editor’s Pick for my article on saving money by making things last longer!
