The Good Life on a Budget

• Posted by JvW on December 7th, 2007 filed in Carnivals

Back in the swing of things! This week I participated in FOUR carnivals. Very exciting stuff! In order of appearance:

The Carnival of Debt Reduction #116 at Blogging Away Debt. My post on my Minimum Payments Gone Haywire was included. Others I enjoyed were:

• Journey to Financial Freedom has 8 Debt Signals to let you know how serious your debt is. I wish I have never had any of those signals, but a few look familiar!

• Moolanomy posted 7 Steps Debt Reduction Illustrated. I the pictures, they tell the story very well.

Debt Consolidation Lowdown posted the Carnival for Debt Management #31, and my post on What I’m Financially Thankful For was a part of it! My picks are:

• Verve Coaching posted Five Tips to Improve Your Credit Score. I’m going to follow these!

• My Money Thinks posted some Outside the Box Holiday Gifts -way better than getting generic presents.

Next up is the Festival of Frugality #102 at Lazy Man and Money. One of my favorite festivals at one of my favorite blogs :). My thoughts on Leftovers Gone Wrong were included, along with these other great posts:

• Free Money Finance posted the 10 Most Hated Money Saving Tips - and I only hate one of them! For the nosy people, it’s the one about pets. The rest I either do now or plan to sometime in the future.

• My Money and My Life has a few ideas for Fun & Inexpensive Christmas Gifts.

Last but not least, Loonies and Sense posted the 37th Carnival of Money Stories. My Commission Backslide tale of woe was included along with:

• Watch me Become a Millionaire posted about saving money by making Coffee at Home. I love doing this, especially with a little special creamer.

• A Penny Closer has a fantastically written story on his First Debt. He has a new subscriber in me!

That sums up this week’s carnivals! Be sure to check them all out, and, as always, many thanks to the hosts!
