This week, I had the opportunity to host the Best of Money Carnival. What is this carnival business? Basically, it’s a “traveling” showcase of the Top 10 Best Articles in Money from around the blogosphere. By showcasing top content on various blogs, readers are introduced to new bloggers and ideas on a weekly basis. There were so many great articles submitted this week so narrowing it down to the top 10 was very tough:
#1 – Pick of the Week: Man Vs. Debt presents 8 Effective Ways to Raise Frugal Kids – A great article on avoiding the rampant consumerism our kids are constantly confronted with. My parents were frugal and instilled some key money behaviors that I’m finding tough to mimic in today’s society. It’s always good to get some good ideas from people having success with it.
The remaining are in no particular order:
- The Amateur Financier presents Unemployment and Motivation: A Case Study – an interesting perspective from someone who was a recipient of unemployment insurance and how the system may influence people’s willingness to go back to work for a lower paying salary.
- Canadian Finance Blog shares How I Got $8 Glasses – a unique set of steps to get really cheap glasses instead of the conventional brick and mortar store route.
- The Smarter Wallet opines on Becoming An Entrepreneur: Are They Born or Made? – an assessment of nature vs. nurture in the business owner world.
- Magical Penny presents The Treadmill that Does Not Get You Fit (financially) – a neat entry from a new blog I just came across – check it out!
- Budgets are Sexy presents No More “I Can’t Afford That” – railing against people’s use of this annoying phrase as an excuse.
- Financial Samurai presents The Curse Of Making Too Much Money And Not Pursuing Your Dreams – an interesting window into a high earner that isn’t feeling fulfilled.
- Good Financial Cents presents How to Become a Successful Financial Advisor– this isn’t just an article about Financial Advisors. It shows the trials and tribulations Jeff went through early in his career to realize the success he enjoys now; applicable to virtually any job today.
- Free Money Finance presents Making the Most of Your Most Valuable Financial Asset – some analysis and tips to enjoying higher lifetime earnings by focusing on higher annual raises.
- Barganeering presents Best Places to Hide Money At Home – I haven’t considered this facet of personal finance in a while and it’s always interesting to see what the author and commenters are doing to thwart the thieves and save for a rainy day.
