Star Money Articles and Carnivals for the Week of Aug 30

Let’s start off with a reminder: FMF is on Facebook. Every weekday I post a couple pieces that usually aren’t on FMF. It’s a great way to connect and get some extra money advice/news if you’re on Facebook quite often.

Here are some pieces I found especially worthwhile and some of the carnivals Free Money Finance was in this week and my posts that were included:

• EDITOR’S CHOICE! Carnival of Personal Finance – Keep an Open Heart and a Critical Eye
• The Wealth Builder Carnival – Asset Allocation Made Ridiculously Easy
• Festival of Frugality – Save Money by Donating Things You Were Going to Throw Away
• Carnival of Money Stories – Update on Our Shopping List
• FrugalDad asks if your kids have too many toys.
• BripBlap tells how to become a successful consultant.
• My Dollar Plan asks about taxes on unemployment.
• Money Smart Life covers PMI basics.
• The Digerati Life suggests three things to do with online cashback earnings.
• The Sun’s Financial Diary wonders when it’s time to apply for Social Security.
• Lazy Man and Money saves on back-to-school spending.

Enjoy!

P.S. Carnival Hosts — If my post is in your carnival in a given week, please send me the URL to the carnival and I will include it in my weekly roundup.
