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 three carnivals: Carnival of Financial Planning hosted by the Digerati Life, the Yakezie Carnival: Credit Card Information hosted by Free From Broke, and the Economy and your Finances Carnival 23rd May 2010 hosted by One Mint.
