Money Hackers Carnival #100

January 25th, 2010

Our recent post asking whether being a devil customer was more effective than boycotting a problem company was featured in last week’s Money Hackers Carnival #100. There were a lot of great entries in last week’s carnival, including a discussion of sick time versus paid time off programs, 20 ridiculous interview questions you might be asked, a new survey finding about half of brides would prefer cash over parents paying for thier wedding, and a great discussion on using unused gift cards. These are just the highlights as I saw them so be sure to check out the whole carnival for even more great personal finance articles.

My apologies for the delays in this post and the general lack of post for the last week. I work in corporate accounting for a major corporation, so last week we were scrambling putting together all our schedules for year-end results. On top of that, we put our house up for sale as a for sale by owner using a flat-fee MLS listing service last week (more on that in future posts), so last week was an incredibly busy week to say the least.

Weekend Carnival Roundup

June 14th, 2008

This past week I did something I have never done before: I participated in a couple of carnivals. This is my first experience with carnivals, as I never really understood the concept before. After looking at the carnival submissions of some of my favorite more successful blogs, I figured it would be a good way to expand the audience of this humble little blog. Anyway, here are the carnivals I participated in this week.
