This week I participated in the following carnivals.

• Carnival of Debt Reduction – Editor’s Pick – Can you be too frugal?
• 166th Festival of Frugality
• 193rd Carnival of Personal Finance
• 33rd Rich Life Carnival
• 25th Carnival of Bankruptcy and Debt
• 1st Carnival of Government
• 3rd Carnival of Everything Money
• Bailout Edition – Carnival of Money Hacks

I found these posts interesting and wanted to share them with you.

• DebtLite asks “What the difference between good and bad debt?”  I would say that student loans can be good debt. If you can’t afford to go to school otherwise.  NOT talking about 6 figure loans, but maybe minimal debt.  Also car debt can be good. If you can’t buy a car any other way.
• The SmarterWallet asks would you rather downsize and cut costs, or work a second job?  I’d do both honestly.  I’d be worried about losing my primary job so I’d get a second. And I’d cut costs to try and make it on my second job’s income.
• PimpYourFinances asks “What would Bilbo do?”  Since I love LOTR and the Hobbit, I thought it hilarious.

Have a good weekend.
