Finish Your Basement, Enjoy A Frugal Barbecue, Leverage Card Rewards

by Francis Investor on July 31, 2009Financial Roundup

Have you heard of financial carnivals before? They’re weekly blog events that allow bloggers to join and share their articles on a particular subject. The articles are “hosted” on a particular site on a given occasion.

This week, I had the chance to join a few carnivals. Here were some of the ones I participated in, as well as some articles that captured my attention!

In the Carnival of Pecuniary Delights, I quite enjoyed The Financial Highway’s 7 money saving tips for a frugal barbecue!

The Carnival of Personal Finance was a great hit, and I found myself enjoying this post from Ask Mr. Credit Card on leveraging card rewards and other rants.

Next was the Carnival of Financial Planning where I found some compelling ideas from PennyJob’s post on reasons for finishing your basement.

Festival of Stocks was my next stop where I caught up with Darwin Finance’s article on knowing the difference between median vs mean.

There were many more wonderful articles from these carnivals, so I strongly encourage you to visit the sites I mentioned here. I’m going to plan to participate in these events each week because I’ve realized that I could kill a few birds with one stone this way: I can get a chance to network with other bloggers, learn more about who’s out in the blogosphere plus learn about finance along the way!
