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!

This week, I participated in the Carnival of Financial Planning #105 hosted by: The Skilled Investor. We have the following posts included in this carnival: Have We Stopped Saving Already? and The Rich Get Poorer. Additionally, Have We Stopped Saving Already? was also included in the Economy and Your Finances Carnival hosted at One Mint. Last week, I participated in the Carnival of Financial Planning # 104 hosted by Four Pillars. The following posts were included in last week’s edition The Rich Get Poorer and Outrageous Law Transfers Parents’ Debt To YOU.

New post Should You Buy A House Outright? was included in the Festival of Frugality hosted at Canadian Finance Blog, the Money Hacks Carnival hosted at Automatic Finances, and the Carnival of Everything About Personal Finance hosted at Nil 2 Million. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please look through the carnivals if you would like to read plenty of other interesting posts in the blogosphere!
