Carnivals of Personal Finance, Growth, and Happiness
This morning, Plonkee Money hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance and my entry, The Worst That Can Happen is They Say No, was included as “Great Post”. 
It didn’t quite make the cut as an editor’s pick, but Plonkee also marked 10 entries throughout the carnival as great posts and mine was one of them. Thanks Plonkee! Some other posts I thought were great posts include:
- Early Retirement Extreme: What I Would Teach My Children About Savings. The ideas are a little… extreme … but the principle is great. Teach them to save, and save a lot. I’ll be writing on this later this week as well.
- Me Vs. Debt: How To Increase Your Interest Rates. A tongue-in-cheek look at how not to behave with a credit card.
Last week, I also entered the Carnival of Money, Growth and Happiness with my post Gift Cards, I Like ‘Em! which was included. I somehow neglected to include that with last week’s carnival roundup so I am including it here! So other posts that gave me much happiness included:
- The Dark Grin: Mind Trip. A bit unconventional, but a visual exercise on why money is not happiness.
- Hill Robertson: It’s a New Year - Get Your Butt in Gear. You. Now. Do it! Oh, wait - he’s talking to *me*.
Thanks hosts for putting together the carnivals and I’ll have more later in the week!

Thanks for the mention. The principle would also work with other percentages. The important thing is to pick a percentage. If one is used to saving a fixed amount from a very young age, it does not feel extreme.

Well, I thought that if I put 15 posts in the Editor’s choice no one would read them - and it’s an incentive to read the rest of the carnival really.

Thanks for mentioning my post. I’m glad you enjoy my sarcasm
