When I see there's going to be a carnival at Punny Money, I'm always excited to see what Nick comes up with, and this week he didn't disappoint. His Oregon-trail themed Carnival of Personal Finance brought back fond memories of elementary school. Was I the only one who named my companions after mean girls and school bullies so I could get a little sadistic glee when they died of cholera or drowned in a river? Annnnnnyway, here are some of my favorite posts from the Carnival:
- Making the most of your charitable donations-- a really informative post about the benefits of donating appreciated securities to charity instead of cash at Getting to Enough (great name!)
- A great, comprehensive look at what makes workplaces family-friendly
- A couple who's able to go grocery shopping only once a year! (except for milk and produce)
And I'm trying to read, link to, and submit (although not this time) more often to the Carnival of the Green. It's at GreenerMIAMI this week, and here are some of the money-related posts:
- A fantastic post on ethical purchasing and supply chains at Triple Pundit, a blog I'm looking forward to exploring a lot more
- A sustainable sushi restaurant chain in the UK
- Recycling yard waste is good for the environment, your yard, and your wallet
- A discussion of for-profit social ventures
