Uncommon Money News (Vol. 86)

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 the Rich Life Carnival #44 hosted by Rich Life, the Carnival of Financial Planning #126 and #127 hosted at the Skilled Investor, Rich Money Habits Carnival hosted at Akosiallan, and the Carnival of Financial Planning #128 hosted by the Canadian Personal Finance blog. The featured posts were: Americans Have Loss Financial Hope, Thoughts On Escaping the Rat Race, Is Bigger Better? Scaling Down The American Dream, and Will the “Fat Tax” Come to a State Near You? Thanks for including my posts in your carnivals. Please check out other posts on these sites.

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.
