Alright, another week goes by and here are this weeks’ carnivals that I participated in and some highlighted post.

The 84th Carnival of Debt Reduction was hosted at Finance is Personal. The post that caught my eye was from Fire Finance. It was about Investing in Indexes and which one to choose. This is one of the rare articles I have seen that looks into this topic. It gives a good introduction but much more needs to be explored.

Meanwhile at Endless Gibberish, the 97th Carnival of Personal Finance was taking place. Wise Bread wrote about the 7 Deadly Sins of Consumerism, which I really enjoyed. I think you should definitely check out this post.

Golburu at The Art of Making Money hosted the 71st Festival of Frugality. The post that I really enjoyed was How to decorate your son’s room for under $60 fromTricia of Blogging Away Debt. It just goes to show you do not need to spend too much if you get creative. I’d only wished she had posted a below and after photo for us to see.

The Skilled Investor hosted the Carnival of Ethics, Values and Personal Finance. This is a carnival that I recently discovered and has a few interesting post. I also participated in the 4th Carnival of Debt Relief, the 9th Carnival of Debt Managment, and the 10th Carnival of Credit Cards.

Post of the Week

Finally, I have saved the best for last. This week’s post of the week comes from SVB from The Digerati Life. She wrote about the True cost of owning a car. This post is really well written with facts and figures and also a great photo - a real quality article. Be sure to check this out.

So that’s it for this week. Have a great week ahead.
