Carnival of Everything Money

I am so excited to host my very first carnival! It was great to read through my fellow bloggers’ thoughts and ideas. I discovered some new folks and overall had a great time setting this up.

I hope even more people will participate in the future. And don’t forget to check back in a week, when I’ll have yet another carnival up on the site!

Please take some time to peruse the stories offered up for your reading pleasure:

FFB had a terrific, thought-provoking post asking Should The Government Use The Stimulus To Bailout Madoff Ponzi Victims?. He debates the pros and the cons of this idea. Even if you think you already know the answer, read it anyway. It’s up over at Free From Broke and it may just give you some food for thought.

While I’m not a terribly religious person, I found Matthew Paulson’s piece, Personal Finance Tips from the Bible to be a really unique viewpoint. There are some great excerpts that show just how far back PF advice goes! Check it out over at Fine-Tuned Finances.
