Carnivals
I participated in two carnivals this week:
- The Budgeting Babe hosted the 161st Carnival of Personal Finance - the “Feeling Renewed” Edition, which included my recent article on saving airline miles from expiration.
- On Financial Success was the host this week for the 134th Festival of Frugality, which included my recent article on maximizing cash back for airfare purchases.
Thanks to both for hosting this week!
From The Blogs
Here is just a small sample of the articles I “starred” in my Google Reader feed list this week:
- Stephanie over at Poorer Than You wrote on whether college students can handle credit. This is a subject I have thought about quite a bit lately, especially as I have had several friends recently ask for my advice. Given the statistics, this area always makes me a bit nervous, but I’ll have more to say on this soon!
- Trent over at The Simple Dollar has Five Tactics for People Who’d Rather Do ANYTHING Than Manage Their Money, which are all excellent tips that almost anyone can take to improve their position without getting too overwhelmed.
- AskMrCreditCard has an excellent list of seven easy steps to improve your credit store. I definitely agree that it is important to get into these habits in order to maintain the best possible credit score.
- And, finally, I include this article from the Consumerist simply because the title literally made me laugh out loud: “Bear Breaks Into Circuit City, Has As Much Luck Locating An Employee As You Do“.
Have a nice weekend!
