Uncommon Money News (Vol 48)

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!

I am especially appreciative to living almost large for their carnival round up. Our post Is there room for Economic Optimism? was recently included in the Money hacks carival hosted by One Million Bucks. It was also featured on the Skilled Investor and in One Family’s blog. I appreciate sites for the links. Thanks for spreading the word!

To my readers: I am so honored by your support. Thank you for reading, subscribing, and for voting for articles from this site on social bookmarketing sites such as stumbleupon, reddit, delicious, digg, propeller, 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 help so much! Thanks.
