Blogging Away Debt

A Very Special Edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance

This week marks 2 years of the Carnival of Personal Finance, and J.D. went the extra mile to make it extra special. Instead of the usual carnival format, he asked each blogger to submit their best article for the past two years.

I was a last minute participant because I wasn’t sure what article I could include. I ended up deciding to include my article on emergency funds, rainy day funds or whatever you would like to call them. By far, that was the biggest “Ah…ha!” moment I have had while blogging. While I’m sure it’s not the last, to me that article shows that I am making progress with my relationship with money. Thank you J.D. for including it.

Now, if you read anything today, go read the carnival. It really is a “best of the best” edition:

Carnival of Personal Finance: Greatest Hits Edition

Ok Law of Attraction, If I Promise to Exercise Every Day Will You Please Leave My Car Alone?

by Tricia

Dear Law of Attraction,

I have been wanting to exercise more, and yes…our car breaking down recently did fit the bill and we did exercise with getting to places that we needed to go.

I will readily admit that I haven’t been as good as I should be with exercising since our car has returned (less Thursday with walking 30 minutes) and we did take our car to go grocery shopping after we got it back.

I’m not sure if you were responsible for putting that nail in our tire on Friday (close to 5:00 p.m. no less), but if so…can we cut a deal? If I promise to exercise at least 30 minutes every day, will you leave our car alone for a while? Pretty please??

Thanks,
Tricia
