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 the Personal Finance Playbook, My Life ROI, One Family’s Blog, and Stretchy Dollar for hosting the Money Hacks Carnival, Festival of Frugality, Carnival of Financial Independence, and the Carnival of Twenty Something Finances. I am happy that our Mark to Market NOT Mark to Myth post was included in all 4 carnivals. Thanks for spreading the word!
