Blog Carnivals and Guest Post at NCN
First up, I’d like to welcome the No Credit Needed readers who are clicking through from my guest post over there about becoming debt free. I wrote that post shortly after I hit my big debt free milestone, and the enthusiasm and exuberance still shine through. Feel free to peruse the archives and check out my “Best of DFR” page which is somewhat up-to-date LOL considering I have a tough time determining which of my posts are actually “best” versus what the readers love the most. (A note: categories still aren’t fixed from my technical problems in March, still need to work on that…)
I set myself a blogging goal last week of participating in at least three blog carnivals per week this month, and hit that mark this week even with the blog carnival site refusing to acknowledge my URLs even exist. They’ve had their own site issues in the past week so I probably shouldn’t be too harsh. Blog carnivals I participated in:
- The 138th Carnival of Debt Reduction hosted by Rocket Finance. I just had to giggle out loud when I read his remarks about my post on Congress and the Fed Taking on the Credit Card Industry!
- The inagural Carnival of Wealth Money and Life was held at Dollar Frugal and included my post Safety Tips from Your Pizza Driver.
- Finally, Alpha Consumer held the (always huge) 151st Carnival of Personal Finance with a “surviving the squeeze” theme and gave a high listing to my post Stagflation Suvival Tip #1 - Stocking up.
Happy reading at the carnivals! Meanwhile I am still in my self-imposed (bad place) of researching the stagflation survival idea, particularly trying to find reliable sources on why the official government inflation numbers aren’t matching my experience. Talk about some tough reading! Most of the links I am finding are not only old, but written by academics and practically need an interpreter. This may take a couple days just to sort out.
Final blog carnival note: I am hosting the Carnival of Financial Goals tomorrow, a few days late because of the troubles at blog carnival site. Bloggers, you still have until I pull myself out of bed and grab that first cup of coffee in the morning to submit your financial goals posts!
