This Week in Carnivals - 2nd Week in March
I submitted to a couple of carnivals this last week so want to share some of the highlights of each. I think I’m going to make carnival participation a pretty regular thing going forward as I’ve had many great opportunities to interact with some neat people out there because of them.
Here’s the list for the first week of March:
Carnival of Personal Finance #143 - hosted by Quest for Four Pillars
| My Post: | Tax Refunds Applied - I outlined everything we did with the $7000 we got back this year. |
| Others I liked: | So Sick of Debt: Trying to have patience - Patience is one of the most difficult things to deal with when trying to follow a plan, be it short term or long term. I can totally relate to the anxiety. |
| Being Frugal: How to Make a Budget That Works - I remembered this one right away as one that I reviewed on StumbleUpon. I love stuff that simplifies how to get started with a budget! |
Carnival of Debt Reduction #130 - hosted by DebtFREE-Revolution
| My Post: | Floating Credit Card Balances - Success #1 - where I share how I simplified some of my chaos by consolidating many of my bank accounts into just a few. I also was able to put all those little chunks of money to work for me in one place. |
| Others I liked: | Paid Twice: The Irony of Debt - This is another one I remember reviewing on StumbleUpon right away too. Great insight on how we must use some of the same mind-set that got us into debt to get us back out of it! |
| No Debt Plan: Mistakes: Procrastination - I’m a procrastinator. A horrible one at that. Around my chaotic life, things just don’t get done until everything else in life stops for them. Becoming proactive instead of reactive is always a good topic to read about. |
So there you go. Hope those were enjoyable, and we’ll likely see some more carnival action next week!
