Moments of Fame
The Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Canadian Dream: Free at 45. Funny’s post on her Close Encounter of the Real Estate Kind (possibly “of the Catastrophic Kind”?) is included here. Thank you, Be This Way, for your thoughts on the value of time and effort vs. money (my sentiments exactly!). As usual, the CofPF is full of interesting and valuable links. My eye (and breath) was caught by Might Bargain Hunter’s alarming prediction that gas will eventually reach $15 a gallon and his suggestion for how we can guess how that will feel. But [don't] be scared; [don't] be very scared: Not to be missed is Bob McD’s revelation that the sky is not falling on Social Security.
The Make It from Scratch Carnival appears at The Miller Way, where the great experiment to make a pot roast last forever appears. This carnival always contains some great recipes, and this week’s is no exception: check out The Sojourner’s awesome-looking stuffed grape leaves in tomato sauce. Those of us who are searching for economical ways to grow our gardens should see this one: at Stop the Ride, old tires as planters!
Piggy Bank Blues hosts the 61st Carnival of Money Stories. Funny’s rumination on upward mobility (or the lack thereof) appears there. Monroe on a Budget contributed a cautionary tale showing why it’s better to call a plumber sooner than later. Dunno whether this is true or not, but Debt-Free Playbook posts a story that is funnier than a bi-gawd. Go to the source (which appears on DFP’s page) for even more wackiness.
