By: Roshawn Watson

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas. I’m looking forward to a really exciting New Year.

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!

I have participated in the Economy and your finances carnival hosted by One Mint. I also participated in the Rich Life Carnival #38 & the Rich Life Carnival #39 both hosted by Rich Life Carnival. Lastly, I participated in the
Carnival of Financial Planning #121
hosted at the Skilled Investor. The included posts were: Is Bigger Better? Scaling Down The American Dream and Thoughts on Escaping The Rat Race. Thanks for including my posts in your carnivals.

Thank you for reading, subscribing, and for voting for articles from this site on social bookmarketing sites such as stumbleupon, reddit, delicious, digg, propeller, twitter, and yahoo buzz. Together, we are telling thousands of the importance of financial literacy. I absolutely could not do it without you. You are vital this this site, and I appreciate your! Thanks.
