Carnival of Personal Finance This Week

This week’s Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Stock Trading To Go. I love the stock market analysis offered at Stock Trading To Go, and I’m excited to be in the Carnival of Personal Finance this week.

There are some great posts, and here are some of my favorites:

• Five lessons from the stock market collapse at Monogamoney.
• Converting your traditional IRA to a Roth at Bad Money Advice.
• Tax breaks for 2009 from Saving to Invest.
• Appearances of Wealth from Money Monk.
• Stop Lying to Yourself from Studenomics.
• Points or miles v. using cash from Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck.

And, of course, my post was on the “rule of thumb” about 30% of your income going to your housing payment. Should it be net or gross? I argue that it shouldn’t be 30% — it should be 28%.
