It has been an incredibly busy few days, with quite a bit of traveling, but I have been able to keep up somewhat with other personal finance blogs and carnivals. From the last week:
Carnivals
This week I participated in the Festival of Frugality #125 - Save Some Money If You Are Rich Edition hosted by Mike over at Quest For Four Pillars. Included was my post on The Outrageous Cost of Movie Tickets.

From the #125 Festival of Frugality, I particularly enjoyed:
- Over at Money Smart Life, an excellent post on Money Tips for New College Graduates - Spending, Saving, & Budgeting Advice. Those first few months are crucial — the financial choices you make (or don’t make) can have a significant impact on your financial security down the line. Get started on the right foot!
- Over at Five Cent Nickel, Nickel tells us about Saving Money with CFLs, which can both save money and save energy. I’ve been using CFLs for a while, and I’ve been quite happy. Pretty much a win-win situation.
- At brip blap, Steve takes a closer look at whether American kids are stupid about personal finance -I’ll be honest, I have always registered the news headlines regarding these surveys of high school students, but had never bothered to actually look a the questions carefully. Definitely an interesting read.

Hey, thanks for singling my article out. Those surveys showing how “dumb” everyone is always need to be taken with a grain of salt!
