Moments of Fame
The Carnival of Money Stories appears this week at Dough Roller, who kindly included Funny’s squib on preparing a guide to your financial affairs in case someone needs to take over for you. This week’s round-up contains a particularly rich selection of good, actual stories, most of them very interesting. I liked many more than three of these: you really need to visit the carnival and check out all the posts. Here are some highlights:
J. Money
Budgets are Sexy
Blogger Showdown #2: Stephanie vs. Squawkfox
I like the format of the series J. Money launched a few weeks back: setting interviews of comparable bloggers side-by-side, so in a glance you can see each person’s answer to the same question. Doesn’t hurt that this time he’s selected two of my favorite women bloggers.
Len Penzo
Len Penzo Dot Com
How Much Would You Pay to Save Your Pet’s Life?
O’course, I can’t resist another post on my favorite hobby horse, the cost of pet ownership.
FMF

My Jobs: The Dot-com Bubble Bursts
Speaking of entertaining series, FMF has been relating the amazing saga of his work life, one post at a time. The guy is a great story-teller, and he does have some adventures to tell.
Stretchy Dollar hosts the Carnival of Money Stories—and you have got to see the great historic college football images! Fun graphics. Funny’s lead to the “Measuring Worth” tool appears here. Check out these discussions:

Cash for Clunkers Tax Rules—What You Owe
Drudge Report notwithstanding, there’s no federal tax on the government credit for your clunker trade-in. But depending on where you live, you could be soaked for state sales tax.

Leveraging Social Media: My Journey to Untangle the Web
Good discussion of ways to operate in the exploding social media scene. Now…to find enough time for it!
Simply Forties hosts the Make It from Scratch Carnival, sharing lovely pictures of her new digs and kindly including the fizzy lemonade recipe. As usual, everything else in this production is to die for. Don’t miss…
Cheeseslave
Beef Tallow French Fries
O… M… G… Cheeseslave not only breaks the cholesterol taboo but explains why beef tallow is good for you. w00t! French fries can taste good again!!!
Adventures in My Freezer
Tomato Bruschetta Pasta
Whew! After that orgy with the French fries, it’s good to get back to Mediterranean eating. Here’s a tasty, pretty dish that’s easy to build.

This is very interesting! The number of comments the post garnered suggests you and I are not the only folks who are interested in safe alternatives to expensive commercial nostrums with bizarre ingredients.
