The Carnival Review #10

We didn’t participate in as many carnivals this week so this review will be a bit shorter than normal. Packing and getting ready for the move has taken over my brain and I simply forgot to submit to many of my usual ones. But the carnivals I did check out are jam packed with goodness!
Here are some of my favorite posts from the carnivals this week:
To Whomever Stole My Debit Card @ Gather Little By Little - An unfortunate story about how someone’s greed affected this family, while on vacation no less.
Great Gifts With Really Bad Unintended Consequences @ Money Changes Things - It never dawned on me that there would be issues surrounding giving small stocks as presents. I’ve never really thought about it. This is an interesting list of well intentioned gifts that have proven problematic.
If I Won’t Use It Frequently, I Don’t Buy It @ My Wealth Builder - My parents used to have a second living room with furniture that was rarely used except for holidays. It only gathered dust the rest of the year. This is a good article about how we should use what we have and not “save the crystal for the guests”.
I want it. You buy it. Any Questions? @ Brip Blap - Don’t find sassy shirts like this very amusing, especially on little girls. I really like Brip Blap’s shirts slogan ideas. Where can I buy those?
Carnivals from around the web:
Festival of Frugality #99 ~ Learning to Be Frugal @ I’ve Paid Twice For This Already - I’m honored that my article on frugality and losing touch was an editor’s pick!
Carnival of Money Stories #33 @ Moolanomy - I must be on a roll or something! I’m thrilled that my article on anniversary gift peer pressure was also selected as an editor’s pick!
Carnival of Personal Finance #125 @ My Two Dollars - My plan to test out our mortgage didn’t make top honors but it was included. Too bad I’m not three for three.

Congratulation. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad. I also just realized that the M-network hosted 3 carnivals this week!
Thanks for the link Melissa!
@Pinyo - M-Network rocks! (Not that I am partial…hehe)
