Yakezie Round Up and Uncommon Money News (Vol. 95)

By: Roshawn Watson

In preparing to write my posts, I often come across noteworthy and sometimes bizarre financial and business news. Below are links to some of these sites. Enjoy!

Recently, I participated in three carnivals: Carnival of Financial Planning hosted by the Digerati Life, the Yakezie Carnival: Credit Card Information hosted by Free From Broke, and the Economy and your Finances Carnival 23rd May 2010 hosted by One Mint.

The included posts are Through the Looking Glass, A Secret Weapon To Your Financial Plan, and Do The Rich Pay Their Fair Share Of Taxes?

Also, our brand new post 7 Reasons for (and Against) Tracking Net Worth was included in Intelligent Speculator’s Financial Ramblings and Len Penzo’s Black Coffee: My Favorite Blogs, Money News & Opinions #47 (The How to Retire By 40 Edition). Our old post Forget Looking Rich…BE Rich! was included in Barbara Friedberg Personal Finance’s Personal Finance Tips: Week-end Round up. Thanks so much for the comments and link love. You guys and gal rock!!!
