Blogging Away Debt

A Whopper of a Finance Carnival is Going to Be Here Monday!

I was notified yesterday that I was selected to host the next Carnival of Personal Finance. This carnival is by far the biggest finance-related carnival and it will be here next week.

If you are a blogger, feel free to submit your best personal finance related article from this week here. Make sure you note the submission guidelines.

I’m brainstorming ways to make this an interesting carnival. With submissions easily in the 70+ range I’m trying to think of a way to present the information (to make it easy to navigate) as well as make it interesting.

For those that read the carnivals, do you have any suggestions?

Some Days, You Feel Like Setting the Finances on Auto Pilot

by Tricia

I’m in a rut at the moment. I think part of it has to do with having to spend a lot of money last week. I have a problem with parting with large sums of money when it’s not going towards our savings or our debt.

Probably another reason is because I am again nursing an injury. So I am experiencing a rut with my exercising as well.

Throw in some female hormones and you have someone who doesn’t want to think about finances at all right now. Thank goodness I know we have money in the account (yay to payday!) and I don’t have any bills that I have to pay until the first of the month. I can set things on auto-pilot for a little bit.

So, this week I probably won’t talk much about our finances unless my mood perks up. Instead, I will probably initiate some conversations about finance in general. It’s always interesting to hear others’ viewpoints on subjects.

As a reader, if you ever have something you want bring up to discuss on here, feel free to contact me and share your story. I always welcome the stories of others.

Now it’s time to go to bed. Lack of sleep lately is another thing that probably isn’t helping my rut.
