Carnival Time for Britney Spears!

January 31, 2008 · Filed Under · 3 Comments 

I participated in a couple carnivals this past week. My post about Britney Spears even made it in, and judging from the picture below, she is horrified by the news! I took the time to read through many of the posts and must say that I was impressed with all the knowledge. If you get a chance, go visit the carnivals for yourself.

First was the 110th Festival of Frugality hosted by Mrs. Micah. Nice job MM putting this thing together, I know how much work it is. Here are a few entries that grabbed me by the ears and shook me.

  • Jeremy over at Destroy Debt has a post titled 20 Ways to Save on Your Utility Bills. Some great tips on saving energy. I have been freezing my huevos in the mornings here in Northern California trying to keep the furnace off, instead I have been starting a fire. Takes awhile to get the house warm. (and my huevos for that matter)
  • Catherine of Frugal Homemaker Plus caught my attention with Challenging Assumptions. So Walmart is really not that cheap after all? Must be those end-cap, low price losers, that form our assumptions.
  • Patrick laid down the truth with his post What Does Being Frugal Mean to You? over at Cash Money Life. He states the importance of creating healthy frugal habits and still giving yourself a break from time to time. Otherwise you might succumb to frugality burnout.

Next, I participated in the 137th Carnival of Personal Finance over at The Dividend Guy. I was proud (I think) to have my post Financial Q&A with Britney Spears included! Who knew that Brit would ever get included in anything about personal finance! Here are a few entries that grabbed me by my feet and tickled my toes.

  • Ryan from Millionaire Money Habits presents You’re in Your 50s – Wake Up and Start Saving!, what….how….it seems like just yesterday I was in my 30’s and spending money like it was growing on trees. But seriously, Ryan presents some great options for you old timers out there.
  • Pinyo at Moolanomy tickled a few of my toes with his post What Is Your Thought On Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)? It all comes to to personal ethics and morals. For me, some things are more important than my rate of return a company may bring me.
  • Lastly, Peter at Plan Your Escape has a well crafted post dealing with Finances For Couples. Peter documents an interesting strategy in which they have a joint account and then they each have a personal account. Works well for them, plus he has a cool diagram that looks like a fun, “adult only”, board game! Go check it out for yourself!

    At least you didn’t post the picture of Britney sans underwear. (Wish I could erase that image from my mind!)
    Your post was very good and thanks for the links!:)
