Carnival of Personal Finance – Meltdown Edition

The 172nd edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance (the Meltdown Edition) is posted at DebtKid.

If you’re not sure what a blog carnvial is, it’s where bloggers who write about a similar topic (in this case personal finance) submit their best articles to be compiled together on one website for readers to enjoy.

There were over 50 articles submitted this week.  Here are a few that look interesting to me…

• Money Beagle gets a really interesting insider look at the credit crisis.
• Trent from The Simple dollar goes into depth about the 12 biggest personal finance mistakes people make over and over again (plus their solutions!)
• Leave your retirement accounts alone! – OK, My Journey To Millions, I promise I will!
• Everyday Finance shows some real world differences between being frugal and being cheap.
• Fix My Personal Finance asks what questions do you ask a financial planner?
• The Financial Wellness Project reviews “The Richest Man In Babylon”
• And finally our own submission, In tough times you need to make smart moves with your money. The Money Wise Coach shares 8 practical steps you can take right now.
