Carnival Sightings

I’m still recovering from this horrible flu. I had to spend a huge chunk of yesterday in bed. I feel better today, but I’m still drained.

My post on reducing and possibly eliminating ATM fees was included in the two carnivals. The Carnival of Personal Finance was hosted by Broke Grad Student. There were plenty of good posts, here’s what I liked:

• No Debt Plan examines The Savings Snowball.
• Tips for Getting First Mortgage is great for those thinking of getting a home.
• Daily Gratis slips where to get a Free Copy of TaxCut Basic 2007 .

The second Carnival was the 1^st ever Carnival of Money Hacks with Prime Time Money hosting. I’m excited about it and will try to participate as often as I can.

The Carnival of Debt Reduction hosted by Being Frugal had my post on making extra car payments. Here are some posts that I found enjoyable:

I hope everyone has a great day.
