No more Yielding Wealth
I also have kind of sad news. b5 has decided to discontinue Bizzia. All of our blog content is being transferred to a “business/finance” category at another b5 site, EveryJoe. So there will be no more Yielding Wealth, as of the end of today. :(
This is a bit of a bummer for me, since I really have worked hard …read more

The Carnival of Personal Finance is up. Just one of the many exciting happenings today in the world of finance.

This week’s personal finance readings.

It’s back to school time!

Taking the PF Blogger Weight Loss Challenge

I’ve been a little lax with my carnival participation lately, but I did take part in the last Carnival of Pecuniary Delights, held at Almost Frugal. My post on whether or not we’d be happier paying more taxes was included. Some of the other entries in this week’s carnival that I especially enjoyed include:

1,001 ways to save money from Moolanomy.
5 ways to overcome the urge to splurge from Bible Money Matters.
Getting the best home mortgage rate from The Digerati Life.

This week’s carnival participation.

I’ve decide that since I’m trying to participate a little bit more in finance carnivals, that I should try to round them up in one post. This past few days, I participated in two carnivals:

Carnival of Pecuniary Delights at Miss Thrifty (where I was an editor’s choice!) for the post on Bizzia Personal Finance regarding canceling your credit card the right way.

Budgeting spreadsheets from Christian PF.
Saving money at restaurants from Pay Less for Food.
Going too far with penny pinching from Domestic Cents.

This week’s Carnival of Personal Finance is up at ABCs of investing. It’s nice that spring has sprung for ABC, but in my neck of the woods we had snow last week. At least it’s mostly melted, although I wouldn’t say we have spring yet. My post on 3 stocks benefiting from the recession made the cut. Here are some of my other favorites from this week’s Carnival:

5 myths about owning a rental property.
Why executive pay is so high.
Should you pay off your kid’s credit card?
Figuring out when to sell a losing mutual fund.
4 months without cable.

Head on over and …read more
