Monday Carnivals
please view this post at: http://theweightofmoney.com/2006/10/monday-carnivals.html
I submitted to two different carnivals for this week -- Carnival of Debt Reduction and Carnival of Personal Finance.
It's Just Money is hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance #72 -- I submitted the personal assessts post because of the recent mummur over at Make Love, Not Debt.
My Money Forest is hostingthe Carnival of Debt Reduction #59 -- I submitted my post on reducing debt by reducing interest rates, which I find crucial for helping us get out of debt because of the $300+ a month we pay in interest could be going toward principal.
Favorite Post:
The Coin Jar's comments on having another child -- I will actually post a much longer response to this post this week.
Other posts I enjoyed:
- Taking Control over Money's post on bad debt - good breakdown of bad debt and felt like a fresh post on the subject.
- Money Under 30's radical ways to spend less - I notice that I'm often less likely to spend money because I don't own a television -- I don't hear about any of the latest new items or know about any blockbuster movies that we just 'have to see'.
- Mom Advice on using powdered milk -- no, not because I'm a big powdered milk advocate but because I love seeing stories where people have taken money saving advice they weren't sure about.
Out of all the posts I read through, these are the only ones I really found worth reading. I will put the disclaimer that I am a judge-a-book-by-its-cover type of gal and some article titles just didn't pull in enough click-it mojo to get my attention. I'm starting to wonder, what is teh saturation point for personal finance blogging? When are we all merely repeating the same things over and over again at different times?
I think I'll be reflecting on this along with some other ethical issues I've been considering the past two weeks.

Hey, thanks for the kudos! With a blog short on traffic, I'll take all the encouragement and word-of-mouth advertising I can get.
I look forward to reading your response! Please let me know when it elevates.
