Best Of Money Carnival: S&M Edition!

Best of Money Carnival #99

Sadistic: Gleefully cutting those posts that obviously didn’t belong or make the grade.

Masochistic: There were only a coupla easy cuts and reviewing the remainder and deciding The Best of Money is painful.

You can only pick ten.

Best of Money Carnival:

1. Surviving and Thriving: How Often Do You Wash Your Jeans?  Great writing and a fun post by Donna Freedman won the day!
2. Nerd Wallet: The Durbin Amendment Explained.  A thoughtful post on  the last minute amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill.  Maybe well intentioned but with potentially calamitous unintended consequences.
3. Fiscal Literacy: How Will You Spend Your Tax Return A look at your potential losses from not wisely putting your tax return money to work, instead of play!
4. Frugal Confessions: Do The Amish Pay Taxes? A review of how unique a small segment of our society lives.
5. Free From Broke: When You Should Borrow Using P2P Lending.  A review of p2p lending and who might benefit from it.
6. Moolanomy: How Much Do You Need To Retire. Everyone argues about the “right” amount-#the number” but so few ever do the calculations cause it’s so complicated. This method is not complicated, and is a place to start.
7. Sustainable Personal Finance: How To Recycle Old Computers.  A subject that affects us all.  I just had to get rid of a truck load of outdated computers from my office.  Our community has a computer recycle program.
8. Matt About Money: Breaking The Cycle of Financing Vehicles. One of the most common personal finance mistakes reviewed and suggestions given.
9. Personal Finance By The Book: Your Friends and Your Finances: For Better or Worse. Dealing with a change in your attitude about money can change your relationships with your friends.
10. Budgeting In The Fun Stuff: PenFed Visa Gas Rewards vs Kroger Gas with these Rising Prices Puts real numbers to the benefits of using a gas reward card.
