This week I hosted the 180th Carnival of Debt Reduction.  I also started announced the winner of the starbucks gift card, Vickie Nelson, and I announced a new giveaway for Money Magazine.  Also the winner of the Book High Wire is Jane.  So check out the new giveaway!  But here’s some carnivals I participated in this week.

• 167th Festival of Frugality
• FMF Carnival of Personal Finance
• Money Hacks Hope Carnival
• 26th Carnival of Bankruptcy and Debt
• Consumer Focused Real Estate Carnival

These are a few of the more interesting posts this week

• Funny about Money talks about a Grocery Pool.  The basic premise is building a food stockpile.
• Your Money Relationship asks “are you living below your means or within?”  I think within. If I were living below, I’d be saving more.
• Tristan talks about “Achieve Financial Freedom by living like a millionaire.”  I think it depends on what type of millionaire you’d like to be.  Me?  I’d like to be Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.

Have a good weekend.
