Best of the Week, in Review...

Great Week out there in PFLand. Congress got their act together. Yahoo said, "Thanks, but no thanks!" and we hit some milestones here!

First off I would like to name my Top 5 favorite posts this week:

• Banker Girl - She ran a neat post about how to "Negotiate Anything with these Four Tips" Great practical experience on how to apprach a subject that many aren't comfortable doing. She runs such a great blog. I really wish I was as together as she is already in her life and with her finances. Always a must-read!
• Dawn from Iowa Hippie Chick - She wrote a great piece on her two dogs which showed the cost of caring for a pet, but also the benefits! Dawn is one of my favorites. Her writing style is so personal, that you feel like you are having some tea and having a good talk!
• Madame X at My Open Wallet- She has been running a neat series about NYC stories. People who are making it in the big city. The latest is Rachelle. It gives you hope that those just starting out might really be in better shape then us!
• SVB at The Digerati Life- A great piece about being aware of computer viruses on products out of China. Never even though about it, but it makes to much sense! Great advice from one of the biggest and Best PF Blogs out there.
• Simplicity in Kansas - A truly wonderful piece about the Depression from him interviewing his Mother. Wow is all I can say..>

Now for my favorite post over this last week, from this blog by an author that needs no introduction...well...me! :)

• I think that it can be easy for us to think "wow, that person is really lucky." I personally think, for the most part, we make our own luck, often just from having perseverance. Abe Lincoln is a great example of that, and seeing how many times he failed and got back up is pretty darn amazing. Hope you enjoy it.

New Carnivals...of Doom

OK, carnivals aren't scary, unless you have to put them together. There are some awesome one ones running now that I would encourage you to visit.

Everything Finance is running a great, Carnival of Everything...which you would think would really block up the internet, but no...it itsvery well organized! This features my "720 FICO and Beyond" post.

A personal favorite person of mine, BankerGirl is running the Carnival of Banking Stories. While that might sound like it might includes game like "Try to remove the Pen from the Chain" it actually features a bajillion great articles including my "Easy Savings to Your Budget using Cash."

Last, but certainly not least, Brip Blap (which is my favorite names blog EVER!) is running the Carnival of Financial Goals III if you saw parts one and two, you must finish the trilogy! At the end Sam helps Frodo...Sorry that was the Lord of the Rings Trilogy! I always mix those two up! It features my 2008 Goals for the Year!"
