Carnival of Money Stories and Festival of Frugality

The Carnival of Money Stories is up at Free Money Finance. This Carnival features money stories from personal finance bloggers. The carnival has quite a few great articles. Hopefully you can learn a few things from them.

Here are some of the articles that stood out:

• Wake Up Later - Investment Income: Figure it Out. Samuel dislikes the lack of financial education in America’s schools. I have to agree.
• My Wealth Builder - My Wealth Paradigm. Appearances aren’t everything when it comes to wealth. The key is to spend less than you earn.
• Moolanomy - My Best and Worst Financial Decisions. I always love learning from others. Moolanomy shares some great experiences.

In related news, the Festival of Frugality #96 has been posted to Fire Finance! My recent article, How to Vacation Without Breaking the Bank, was included. Along with my article, there were many other great money saving tips in this week’s edition.

The articles that particularly got my attention are:

• My Two Dollars - Ten Ways Living Simply Can Save You Money. Ahhh, the never ending quest to simplify. It is worth it!
• Clever Dude - Coworkers Make Fun of My Coupons, But…. I love coupons, and I have no problem using them!
• The Simple Dollar - How Can a Frugal Person Buy Expensive Items. I think often, being frugal means buying quality. It may be more expensive up front, but it is cheaper in the long run.
