Three Great Posts from the Carnival of Personal Finance #143
The 143rd edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance is up over at the Quest for Four Pillars. Thanks for picking my article, Four Reasons We Spend More than We Should, as a top post!
Here are three articles I especially enjoyed:
Why I Love My Prepaid Cell Phone at Paid Twice. I’ve always thought a prepaid cell phone would be the financially smart way to go. Too bad I’m still locked into a 2-year contract. Someday.
What Your Landlord Thinks Of You – I loved this post over at A Penny Closer that looks at how landlords might see a rental application, and why bad credit may actually help you get an apartment. Yes, really. Read the post to find out why!
Good News! You’re Standing In Your Own Way – Do you ever make excuses for your financial situation? I’ll admit that I do. Blunt Money takes a look at how to change these excuses into financial priorities. You may just realize that you’re in debt because you value cable and a brand new car more than financial security. Hey, that’s your choice. At least you’ll be honest.
