Budgeting in the Fun Stuff, founder of the new Totally Money Carnival, hosts the event this week, embellished with some very funny images. She kindly includes Funny’s post, Budgeting for a Windfall among the many interesting and informative contributions. Quite a few of this week’s submissions are fun reading. I especially enjoyed these:

The Festival of Frugality is online at Spruce Up Your Finances, where Funny’s fix-it tip, Darn It! How to repair a hole in your sock, appears in the rank and file. Among the posts I enjoyed:

While this scheme probably began life as a loophole for the wealthy, it would allow a person who doesn’t have enough income to afford the tax hike presented by the enforced drawdown at age 70½ to donate pretax dollars.
Roshawn Watson writes one of the better spins I’ve seen on the old What Are Your Financial Regrets? chestnut. It’s thoughtful and elicits a lot of interesting comments from readers.
